I just got back from four days away with my friends in the wilderness and we must have played this at least 20 times.
Honestly it’s the best board game I’ve ever played. It’s also the funniest, with people dissolving into laughter at just about every turn.
Has anyone else played it?
That looks interesting, but I was more drawn to the link for the game Nookii:
Thanks, but we bring enough “pleasure”, thankssoverymuch.
:eek:
It sounds like a hoot. Owl be going now.l:)
Yep, great game. We picked it up a while ago after playing it with friends of ours.
Can lead to some interesting conversations with your spouse on the car ride home though. 
Prude.
Just out of curiousity, I checked boardgamegeek. Its rated #1875
Of course the voters at bgg aren’t the type to go for party games.

I’ve never seen that site before, thanks 
Is there anything about what comes in the box itself that makes this game more fun than many similar games one can play with player-supplied clues (as Charades is traditionally played)? Does it have particularly clever rules or twists or mechanics? Or particularly well chosen clues?
The rules are quite simple, basically make your partner say as many words from a certain category (Object, World, Person, Action, Nature or Random) in 30 seconds and then move that number of spaces.
You can however land on a Control space, which means that all players can guess what you’re trying to describe, which means you need to try to do it in a way that only your partner would know, otherwise you will miss a turn.
The best thing about it though is the clues on the cards, IMO. Some are extremely specific or abstract. I had no idea what/where “Mull of Kintyre” was/is and many of the people you need to describe you will either instantly know or instantly realise you don’t know (which leads to more fun in breaking down the word charades style).
