Balderdash

Make up a definition. Sound confident. Fool everybody.

Balderdash hands you an obscure word and asks you to invent a plausible definition. Everyone writes one, the real one gets shuffled in, and then you vote. Points for guessing right, more points for tricking other people into picking yours.

The game rewards a straight face and a good ear for how dictionaries sound. It's also a reliable way to discover which of your friends are alarmingly good liars.

Perfect for: Parties, word nerds, and anyone with a talent for sounding authoritative about nothing
