Description:


Balderdash, the classic bluffing game, has gone beyond hilarious. With outrageous questions that now include the category Laughable Laws, play the game that asks your friends to call your bluff. Each game card lists People, Words, Initials, Movies and Laws that you've probably never heard of. But that's where the fun really begins, because you get to make up an answer that's as silly or as serious as you want! Now mix in the real answer and vote. You score points for guessing correctly and for bluffing the other players. So grab the bull by the horns and play Balderdash, the game that's hilarious beyond belief!

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Best Game EVER!

I've played most board games on the market but this one is the most hilarious, rollicking, rip-roaring game EVER! When our family and friends get together to play this, we laugh so hard that the guys are crying and the girls have to pee. It's hilarious!

Balderdash rating: 4/5 stars Practice your poker face!

It's so much fun! The best part is that anyone can win! My boyfriend had an advantage, because he jokes a lot and has the ability to convince people that something outrageous and funny is true. We were playing with two other couples, including a guy with a PhD who won so many rounds! But then they both lost, and my gal pal and I tied for first!! What a underdog victory for us!

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Laugh Till You Cry

This game is an hilarious classic! No limit to the number of players (the more the merrier)even though the box says 10. A couple of tips for playing with lots of people: 1. Everyone must jot down key words for the definitions they find plausible which helps avoid reading a large number of definitions more than twice (you should make this a rule because if not, the game drags). 2. The "Dasher" should have some "editorial license" to edit the answers of younger (and old) players and should clarify answers if confused by the answer or the poor penmanship of a player.

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Awesome

If J doesn't like the game, it's because he is narrow minded and has no sense of humor, clearly not someone to play board games with. This game is awesome, it's THE funnest game i've ever played. It has a sister game that's kind of like it called, Things. Try this game, you won't be disapointed. And this site is great.

Balderdash rating: 4.5/5 stars Funny

Yes, we run across the occasional word that we actually know. Generally, the game is tremendously fun. Mr. J, the "no" it all run-on sentence man is not that all bright. This is evident from the poor grammar and incorrect word selection.
