Product Description
Grab the bull by the horns: Balderdash is back! With new content and even a new category, this is a fresh way to separate the strange truth from creative fibs. The movie is called Buford's Beach Bunnies. Can you guess the plot? All players write down a fake plot, except the one who knows the real answer. Mix up the responses and see if you can find the true answer. Is it about a hillbilly lifeguard? Is it about the rich owner of a barbecued rabbit sandwich empire? How about a 10-year-old who moves into the Playboy mansion? Categories are Weird Words, Marvelous Movies, Incredible Initials and Peculiar People. The answer? The real move is about a rabbit sandwich magnate. Comes with a game board, 336 game cards, an answer sheet pad, 6 movers, a die and instructions. For 2 or more players.

Balderdash is hilarious and a good work-out for your brain. We laughed hysterically. The key is to bluff people into selecting your answers, while you try and select the correct answer.
Now, not one person got a single answer right. I think that's a good thing. It's a testament to how obscure these questions are.
Let's face it, though, the game is only as good as the group that's playing it.

Although Balderdash is fun, I'm reluctant to give this a five star rating because of the play and the wordiness. A word is read and then everyone has to scribble down a potential definition. One reader reads all the definitions as everyone else guesses. If someone guesses your definition then you move the amount of spaces as the amount of people that chose your definition.
Maybe it was just me, but I really wracked my brain to come up with official sounding definitions which took a lot of energy. Perhaps if I just came up with the simplest and silliest thing then I would have more fun. But the rounds are long as everyone has to first write a definition and then they all have to be read. And don't have sloppy hand writing because then your definition will be ruined on the reading.

This game is specially fun in larger groups. It does not make any sense if you play it with only two or three players. But when you go up to 5 or more players, it becomes a lot of fun. There are five categories of questions (words, names, initials, laws, and movies). Each card contains a word, a name, an initial, a law, and a movie title on one side, and correct answers as to what those words mean on the other. Your job is to read one card (one person per round does this; that person does not write their own answer down). And then others try to compose their own version of the correct answer by bluffing. At the end of each round, persons who guess/write the real answer and whose answer gets picked by others get points. You don't learn much from this game though since the words and persons and laws are pretty ridiculous and non-usable for day to day conversation/knowledge. They are just trivia of some sort. But the game pushes you to be creative, funny, and outrageous, and that can be a lot of fun! The game is also quite appropriate for all ages; I enjoy playing it with the entire family including grandma and grandpa. All in all, a must-play and one of the funnest board games of all times in my opinion. The game, however, does require reading and writing minimally in each round and it can have a slower pace compared to other board games out there. So, if patience (waiting for everyone to submit their written answer) or writing is not your thing, you may find this game a bit dull.
Great for a group February 26, 2008

This is a very fun board game. It requires creativity, knowledge of random trivia, as well as the ability to pontificate and convince people that you are right. This gets competitive and fun, with little setup needed.
