This is a frantic game of verbal interaction, played in teams. One person per team tries to explain a word on a card using synonyms, antonyms, definitions or descriptions, and the rest of the team must correctly guess the exact word. The team tries to guess as many words as possible before the timer runs out, and then it’s the next team’s turn. Teams move forward on the game board for every correct guess, but move backward for each word they skip or if the explainer used any part of the word in trying to describe it. The first team to reach the finish wins! Sound easy enough? Maybe when the word is “statue” or “cry”. But what about when it’s “foolhardy” or “snake charmer”? Remember, only exact guesses count! 400 game cards have 8 words per card, meaning there are 3,200 words in the game for you to explain! Game comes with game board, 400 Alias cards, 6 playing pieces, 1 hourglass timer, and game instructions. For 4 or more players, ages 7 and up. |
