There is a board game similar to the Dictionary Game that js explained. It’s called Balderdash. It’s a fun game, and challenges your mind and quick wit to come up with plausible and believable definitions that the other players will believe is the correct one.

I just checked on Amazon, and there are so many different versions of that game! I remember this game from waaay back when, so ’course I have the 1984 version.

Well, I would mark this question as “inspirational,” since it’s now inspired me to fetch that game out of the closet and start balderdashing again. :)

There is a rather silly one I have played that can be fun in a group. The first person says the name (it can be a noun, adjective or verb) of something that they can see that starts with an A. Then people blurt out something they can see that starts with a B. It moves fast because as soon as one person comes up with a word starting with the current letter it moves onto the next letter. You have to think fast or the letter will be used before you can say anything. when you get to Z, start over – but the words have to be new. It’s a good one to play when you are out in public, like waiting in line or something, because the scenery is always changing.

You are talking about what I call the “Dictionary Game,” Bill.

It is such a GREAT game that I’m offering a set of instructions which people may print out.

[URL removed] A dictionary, slips of paper, a pen or pencil for each player and a score sheet with player names across the top.

The [URL removed] Four is minimum, 6 to 10 is ideal.

The [URL removed] One player (the dealer) consults the dictionary for a word whose meaning is unknown to all other players. Players are honor bound to report truthfully that they don’t know the meaning of the word.

Players write the word and a definition of their own imagination on a slip of paper, fold it up, and give it to the dealer. Player name is NOT to be included. Meanwhile, the dealer writes the actual definition on his or her slip of paper.

After all definitions are collected, they are mixed together, and read to the group by the dealer, one at a time. After several readings, players vote on which definition is the real one.

[URL removed] The dealer is awarded a point for every wrong guess. A player whose definition is chosen as correct (even though it is not) receives a point for each player who guessed that player’s definition. A player who votes for the actual, correct definition is awarded one point.

The REAL definition is announced. But that’s no guarnatee anyone will remember it as correct. I STILL think “abaft” means “dumbfounded” when in fact, it refers to the stern of a ship. Or is it the other way around?

After all votes are tallied, the dictionary is passed to the player on dealer’s left, who becomes the new dealer for the next new word and round of voting.

Play is complete when the dictionary has made a pre-determined number of complete cicuits among all players. A final tally and grand total of votes determines the winner. Otherwise, a predetermined time limit marks the end of the game.

While these instructions are quite dry, the actual game is hilarious. And of course, since materials are readily available, nothing need to be purchased. Not counting refreshments, that is.

We’ve had many side-splitting laughs while playing Scattergories. A letter of the alphabet is determined by rolling a 20-sided die. Once the letter is known, players (or teams) write down words that begin with that letter, based on the category that is in play. The key is to not have an answer that is duplicated by another player, as that will score no points. Creativity, therefore, is key.

[URL removed] If the letter “F” were drawn in the category “Musical Instruments,” Flute readily comes to mind. But you’d do better to write down something more obscure, like Flugelhorn, Fife or even Fiddle.

It’s a very enjoyable word game, and play does a great deal to stimulate conversation. And laughter!

I’ve played Balderdash many times with all age groups. Our family likes to sit around and play games any time we all get together and my grands have played this with us since they were very young.

I don’t think it’s being made anymore but, “Huggermugger” is a wonderful word game for multiple players. There are used games for sale online. None on Bonanzle, but if you do a Google search, you’ll find a bunch.

I always loved the word game Hangman!! I still love playing that game. It could possibly be made to be a game that could be played on Bonanzle. I will have to think about how that could work and maybe add that to the list of games that we play here. What fun that would be :)

Story Game

Four or more players contribute to a story which has as many paragraphs as there are players. There should be no discussion of what the story is about -everyone starts with his or her own idea. All begin by writing the first paragraph of their story, then folding the paper to conceal their material, EXCEPT FOR THE LAST LINE, and passing the paper to their left, receiving a paper from the right. The paper you receive will now have the last line (but only the last line) exposed so that you can somehow blend your story with that material.

Paragraph 2 is then added to the last line of the folded page and a new last line is left exposed, with the paper folded once again to hide everything except the last line. Repeat until papers are back with their original story writers.

The story you have in mind when you start is adapted to the exposed last line and may sometimes end up being very different from what you originally were writing. Just do your best with what you have.

Now exchange the papers so you will begin reading one which is NOT the beginning of your own story. Each player reads aloud the jumble of stories he or she has.

The hilarity of this cannot possibly be appreciated until you actually do it.

We used to play Pictionary a lot. No one likes to draw though, so we give verbal clues. We play in teams, so a large or small group can play.

Oh, I believe that a monopoly is the best one for large companies. I like this game, it is my favourite

I think that poker is the best game for a company, that allows knowing every person more deeply. By the way, I know a great article about how to increase your opportunity to win in games of chance [URL removed] CHeck it out, it is interesting.

During the quarantine, we played all these games on skype/zoom, so we are already a little boring to play wordgames. What else can you recommend for a group of friends?

Oh, I understand you. We played mafia and similar games 500 times. Then one of my friends decided to try playing games like poker or blackjack, but not everyone in the company knows how to play well. Therefore, we decided to compete who is luckier and chose slots. It’s fun to do when you’re all in touch. Usually, the loser drinks something or completes the task. We select the slots here [URL removed]

I prefer to play in the company of friends in some table games or gambling games like poker.

I really like all sorts of board games. Friends often come to visit us to play with our whole large and friendly company. We even bet on cricket together but before that of course we studied [URL removed] to understand how to do it at all. It’s very cool when you share common interests with your friends.
