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 Great game - Lots of Laughs!

I love this game! I have played this with my family and friends and everyone always has a blast. It keeps your mind working and really helps people come out of their shell. My family regrets not bringing it on vacation with us because all it would have taken is a few cards if you don't plan on keeping score. This game is best with more players and it always a hoot. Happy playing!

Balderdash rating: 2/5 stars Low-Minded

Uh, no. If you're a moron with only moron friends who have no clue what any of these words will ever mean, then it's fine. But if you know that the hippocampus is *both* a mythological sea-creature as well as a portion of the brain you will be forced to tediously explin this to the other players and you'll take too long putting both definitions down because, hello, you do want to be accurate, don't you and then you'll also have to explain how, no, the game's single definition really is incomplete. Note, this is also true for the word "Salvo". And I gave up playing after 30 minutes so didn't encounter more of these (no, I wasn't kicked out of the game for being a no it all, though perhaps they were happy to have a more level playing field...) Bottom line? If you're a smarty, keep looking or ensure you have a pre-acknowledged reference source for the correct definition listing.

Balderdash rating: 4/5 stars Great fun-with reservations

I love this game, it is a great party game for wordy folks. But there are some strange hiccups with the new categories edition. The movie titles seem to be foreign release titles of American films or poorly translated descriptions of films.

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Play For Money!!!

Our family plays every Saturday night for money. Each player pitches in $5, and the first one to the finnish line wins!!!

Balderdash rating: 2/5 stars Balder Retrograde

Having been introduced to the Balderdash game at a friend's dinner party and having had hours of fun, I decided to buy the game for my family. Words can not describe the utter disappointment at trying to play this newer version with different catagories. For all things it has been Americanised, who at the best of times struggle to string a sentence together in coherent English. If the Anglo-American relationship is to flourish, stick to the rules of the game; we invent it, you mass produce it.
