OPGames Tryazon Party #telestrations #BlankSlate

 

Such fun games! So happy to get to have this party. We have been fans of Blank Slate for the last five years. As a substitute teacher I have brought it into many middle school and high school classrooms over the years. The students have all heard of the game because Bobby Bones apparently talks about it every so often on his radio show. A quick explanation of how you play the game- there is a word like cherry _____ then you have to write down what you think of when you need to add a word to cherry- I said pie, two people said blossom and someone said cake although I had never heard of that before! Just an example the blank can be the first part or the last part. If you match with one person you get 3 points if more than 2 of you match you get 1 point and first to 30 wins.  My family has also loved playing it with both sides of the family. The funniest thing we have had happen with this game is the time we were playing it with all of our family and my dad and my brother matched a compound word that wasn't right, for the life of me I wish I could remember what it was but it was something they had pronounced wrong- apparently together all of their lives!

Telestrations was such a fun game, the problem in our family with kids so close in age is the amount of fighting that usually goes along with board games. Not this one, there was so much laughter, tears from laughing so hard. This game was a blast and some of the drawings and guesses were so off that we just about rolled on the floor. Telestrations is  like telephone and Pictionary combined. Everyone draws a card and then a dice is rolled to determine what number you use. After that that person will draw on the first page of their book their best drawing of that word, next person looks at only the picture and then guesses with words what the picture is then from those words the next person draws another picture until you get your booklet back. When the big reveal goes does there is always so much laughing.  Big fans of both of these games if you are needing Christmas presents for anyone I would highly suggest these! Thanks OPgames and Tryazon for letting us host this party.
