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

R

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!

R

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.

F

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!

F

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.

    Content 'laughs' at womens oppresion!@#
    Was playing this game, Laughing Laws Category, with my 11 year old daughter this evening and came across inappropriate content. The content made mentioned that a law in a state makes it "illegal for women to try on more than six dresses in any one store". My tween daughter could not fathom how this was laughable and I do not understand how the makers of Balderdash could have been OK with promoting this kind of women oppressing language in a family game. I will be returning this game ASAP and will be warning family and friends of the shameful material within the game.
