"great party game. 2 disparate clues for one common word keep you guessing. For instance "Part of a House" and "Sound a dog makes" could be clues for the word "roof". Challenge is for partners to guess 5 words before the spinning top timer stops spinning."

The games are all new, but very similar in spirit to the original Brain Age games. It feels like the handwri..."

"My family loves to break this game out for holiday get-togethers (okay, our get-togethers are kind of lame). It's like Fictionary with quotes... each team invents a proverbial saying, and players then guess which saying is real. A great gift for a family of historians, linguists, or other word-nerds."
