Balderdash is an awesome game! Me and my friends will play that on Friday nights and we will be laughing so hard that we will cry sometimes with the answers we come up with. Great game!

Answer 5

We always called it Dictionary.  We played with all ages on 4th of July between dinner and homemade ice cream.

Someone selects a word from the dictionary.  Everyone write a definition of the word.

You get points if you guess the correct definition.

Also everyone votes on which definition is correct.  

And we laugh until we are gasping for air.

In Balderdash there are cards with words and definitions on them and a board game that you move around your tokens.

Answer 6

Yes I have and it's great.  My friends still talk about their best definitions from years ago.

Answer 7

See link

"A clever repackaging of the parlor game Dictionary, Balderdash contains several cards with real words nobody has heard of. After one of those words has been read aloud, players try to come up with definitions that at least sound plausible, because points are later awarded for every opposing player who guessed that your definition was the correct one.

Versions of the game actually called The Dictionary Game go back at least as far as 1971, although Balderdash itself was not published until 1984.

Mattel republished Balderdash in 2006 in a form that derives its gameplay from the sequel Beyond Balderdash."
