We haven't had a board game to try for a long time, but when I heard that Tryazon had a party for a new game and the party needed to happen while we were on vacation- I signed us up. My kids groaned as they have gotten used to all my crazy games and sometimes they don't find them fun but after one night playing The Baffling Bowl! they were having a great time. We laughed so hard that we cried, we played boys against girls and the boys team won but three points so the game was very close.
Kids say this game is a lot like "fishbowl" and I know there is another card game that is also very similar but this game has it's own set of rules that makes it unique. Before the game starts everyone grabs a booklet and picks out two words to tear out and throw into the bowl (my kids were appalled- "is this a one time use game?" However there are 600 unique words and you can save the used words if you want to. There are three rounds- round one consists of getting people to guess the word without using two key words also on the paper. Round two people can use no words or their dominate hand and try to get people to guess the words- (same words are put back in the bowl.) The last round is where it gets interesting- people get one chance to say the word BACKWARDS. It's a lot harder than it sounds and we had a lot of laughs this round. Over all I thought the game was pretty fun. It does seem weird that you use paper cards and that it could be a game that eventually runs out, and I didn't like that they didn't send a timer. In the instructions it says "use a cell phone" naw I am old school games that need a timer please send one!
Thanks to Tryazon and Gouda games for giving us the chance to try this fun game for free in exchange for my review.
