Fun game; simple enjoyment

It seems so silly but it can be hard to limit to one syllable words - of course, everyone loves it when the club comes out! Lots of laughs and congenial kidding. So many games today involve so much strategy and one-up-man-ship that it was refreshing that this was just fun.

This game was very fun to play. It takes getting used to at first. My kids were frustrated because they kept using two syllable words by accident causing them to lose more points than they were able to gain. The only negative thing is that my husband realized you can win by not saying anything and just letting the other team make multiple mistakes. I would suggest a penalty for not trying to play a certain amount of words per turn.
