Fun board game?

[Inactiongirl]

Looking for a fun board game to buy to play with family at Christmas. ...something on the line of Trivial Pursuit or Pictionary... haven't bought or looked at any new ones in years....would appreciate any reccomendations...

I've heard Cranium is fun but I think they have all played that before.

Thanks Buster...That's a good idea although I think only a couple of us were religious Seinfeld fans...I just got 9/10 right on the trial Friends one...that was fun...I need to get out more.


I'm probably at the wrong place to ask about board games.

Mad Gab

Super fun!!!!!!! We played it like 5 years ago at my family Xmas... i liked it so asked for it as a present the next year....
seriously - if you read about it, it may sound lame, but its really fun



Mad Gab is a game created by Terry White in which there are at least two teams and 2 to 12 players. Each team has two minutes to sound out three puzzles.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-0>[1]</SUP> The puzzles, also known as mondegreens, contain small words that, when put together, make a word or phrase. For example, "These If Hill Wore" when pronounced quickly sounds like "The Civil War." There are 2 difficulties: easy and hard. The faster the puzzles are answered, the more points the players score.<SUP class=reference id=cite_ref-1>[2]</SUP>

South Amboy, New Jersey (PRWEB via PRWebDirect) November 26, 2008 - Endless Games, America's classic board game specialist, announced the debut of Million Dollar Password, a board game based on the number one game show on TV last summer. The game is available starting Friday, November 28 at Target and other specialty stores in time for the holiday season.

CBS revived the popular Password game show as Million Dollar Password last summer. The show was hosted by Who Wants to be a Millionaire and daytime talk show veteran Regis Philbin, and averaged more than ten million viewers. Season two returns to CBS on December 21 with host Philbin, and celebrities William Shatner and Aisha Tyler in the first episode, helping contestants win one million dollars.

Now, fans of the Password format and board game enthusiasts alike will be entertained for hours over the frenetic action and high-pressure tension that only comes from this deceptively simple word guessing game. Played just like the TV game show, with two (or more) teams competing, clever communication remains the key as players rely on one-word clues to guess a series of secret passwords.

Endless Games Million Dollar Password edition includes more than three thousand passwords, and adds to the excitement by featuring the thrilling countdown music from the show. The game has an MSRP of $24.99 and is recommended for players ages ten+.

Cranium is fun IAG. Got a little of everything and kids can play it. Of course they probably won't get many answers but it will be fun to participate. Here is a description.



* The original award-winning board game!
* Sketch, sculpt, solve puzzles, act, hum and answer questions
* Perfect for parties, reunions, after dinner, vacations -- anytime!
* Each game lasts about an hour -- hilarity guaranteed

Cranium is the outrageous, award-winning board game packed with something-for-everyone fun! Whether you're an aspiring actor, artist, data hound or wordsmith, Cranium gives you a chance to shine.
Cranium brings families and friends together -- after dinner, at parties, on rainy afternoons. When you play Cranium, you'll use your brain in ways you never imagined and find yourself doing the unexpected.

And the fun doesn't end when the game does -- you'll never forget your uncle impersonating Britney Spears, your sister acting out "ants in your pants", your mom spelling "platypus" backwards or your best friend sculpting "platform shoes" out of clay!

Cranium helps people find the fun in all things and brings light and laughter to the lives of people who play.
