How good are you at giving clues? And at guessing them? Funglish is a really fun word game that gives you a chance to try your hand at both.
Players take it in turns to take a card with 6 different terms listed on it. They have 3 minutes to describe as many of those words as possible using the words provided on 120 different tiles. These word tiles are adjectives and nouns that put together effectively, can lead the guessers to the correct term – or not! The player who is providing the clues selects relevant words and puts them on the board under the headings ‘Definitely’, ‘Kind of’ and ‘Not’.
For example, to describe the word ‘kitten’, a player could select ‘small’ and ‘furry’ and put that under ‘Definitely’ and select ‘scaly’ to put under ‘Not’.
The player providing the clues scores a point for every word that is guessed. The successful guesser also scores a point.
As everyone guesses simultaneously it means everyone is playing simultaneously. No waiting for your turn to come around, which means teens are less likely to get on to their phones :). It is fast-paced and SO much fun. We played it with 6 people ages 12 to adult and it took us about an hour for everyone to have 2 turns at giving the clues.
Funglish can be bought at Amazon and possibly also at local stores. If you have played it, let us know in the comments what you thought of it.
