The Tao of Gaming

Lying is easy, comedy is hard


I finally broke Why did the Chicken out for our game night (which often has party or trivia games). This is basically "Balderdash" with jokes. You have a question "What happened when the BLANK dated the BLANK?" and two nouns to fill in the blanks. Everyone gets two minutes to write up punchlines (as many as they want), and a single player judges (ala Apples to Apples). Two jokes win, each winner getting a card (to score). Play with each player judging once (or more, I suppose).

Bruce Vilanch we are not.

After two "jokes" I was ready to punt, but we got better. The last joke ("Why did the pirate want to become a rabbit?") got several credible entries ... feel free to leave yours in the comment.

Anyway, you now know enough to decide to buy it or avoid it.

I suspect I'll play it a few more times, but I think I prefer Beyond Balderdash.
