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: 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.

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Great fun and laughs

Someone in the family or a friend will through a Balderdash party and everyone who can shows up. We all love this game and have a ball playing it. Lots of laughs at some of the "definitions" people come up with. Use your imagination, have fun and laugh. My family and friends love this game.

Balderdash rating: 5/5 stars Lots of Laughs

Our family just played and had a blast. And yes, our 11 year old can bluff as well as our engineering major. As for the Low-minded negative review, ignore it. Get the game and have fun with your family. I wonder if his self reference as a "no it all" was a typo or a Freudian slip. :)

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.
