Product Description
Time to grab the 'bull' by the horns and hope other players don't call your bluff! Balderdash game features compelling, unbelievable-but-true content in five fun categories: 'famous' people, words, initials, laws, and movies. Take turns being the Balderdasher! Roll the die and chose a categorythen read the choice out loud for the group. Each player writes what they think the real definition or explanation is, and the Balderdasher writes down the real answer. Then the 'Dasher' reads them all aloud, and you hope that yours is the most believable! What is Hkan Forsberg famous for? What does P.A.S.S. stand for? Can you define 'goffering'? Everyone then votes on which card they believe to contain the true answer. The real fun begins when the phony definitions are read along with the legitimate ones! You earn points in a few ways, one of which is when other players vote for your balderdash. You'll laugh out loud as you hear the hilarious, clever, creative definitions! This party favorite includes clue cards, game board, movers, die, and instructions. Colors and decorations may vary.

From the manufacturer
Bluff Your Friends!
Balderdash is the game that asks your friends to 'call your bluff', combining unbelievable but true content with answers that are hilarious and totally made-up!
Mix Of Categories
Each game card lists a question from one of 4 possible categories of content: people, words, initials, and movies. Once a question is read, each player must write down what they think the definition or answer is.
Hilarious Beyond Belief!
Don’t know the answer? That’s where the fun really begins, because you get to make up an answer that’s as silly or serious as you want!
True Or Phony?
In order to win the game, players must decipher between answers that are phony and answers that are true. If you suspect an opponent to be faking it, you can call their 'bluff' and score points by guessing correctly.

Definitely recommend this game for adults and kids alike!!
This game is suitable for teens and adults with a vivid imagination and sense of humor. Definitely play Balderdash at dinner parties where there are more than five people. If more than five, you can double up and play with teams of two people. The price is a steal considering all the enjoyment you’re going to receive from playing. Happy bluffing!
Learn the basics in 5 minutes and average game play is about an hour (maybe an hour and a half with 5 or more people). I will say repeatability with this game gets a bit less fun as you learn the tone of the true answer cards (the ones you're trying to detect while supplying your own fake answers to fool your competitors) and can pick them out amongst your friends cards. But overall this game is silly and with some witty friends it is pure comedy, just playing the game can be more fun than winning.

That's what the game is about,how well can one bluff. Go ahead and try it. Not ideal for children under 10.
