 ... the real version. Players then vote on which they think is correct. If you get it right you score points, if someone chooses your made up description you score points. Simple. What makes this game so good is it's simplicity and it's comedy value. Sometimes the most outlandish descriptions turn out to be the correct ones. This game gets better with a bottle or 2 of wine particularly if the players are really into it. This game has great replayability with a huge number of words in different categories and...more

Premium Review Absolute Balderdash: The Hilarious Bluffing Game (554 words)

I stumbled across Absolute Balderdash when I was looking for a game to play at a family get-together - emblazoned on the box were the words "Wild, Wacky Hilarious fun" so I thought I'd give it a go. Never before have I laughed so much at a board game (actually I was laughing at some of the very strange answers that my family came up with, and that was without alcohol consumption), and would have to agree with the advertisers that it is a game of incredible fun! The Basic Idea: One player (the dasher) reads out a question to the others. They each write down a made up, but believable answer and hand it to the person who read the ...  Read the complete review

Each Christmas I try to buy a different board game, as it seems to be the one time of the year that we all get time to sit down and play board games. This year I chose Balderdash, having read positive reviews about it. I paid £25 in Debenhams for it. It is one of those excellent games that you can play instantly rather than spend hours trying to work out the rules. If you have watched "call my bluff" you understand the rules instantly. You get a game board, counters, a pad, box of cards and a spinny thing. Basically you put your counter at the start, and can one space if you correctly guess the answer, fool someone else into believing your ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Absolute Balderdash: Absolute Fun! (484 words)

Absolute Balderdash is one of my favourite boardgames of all time. The idea is this: there are different categories; definitions, acronyms, people, laws, special days. If it's your go and you're on the definitions square, you have to read out the word on the card, and write down (secretly) on a square of paper (provided) the correct definition of this word, which is on the card. Everyone else, meanwhile, must invent their own definition for this word, and write it down on their squares of paper. I should point out that these words are completely obscure and there is an extremely low chance that you will have ever heard it before. Then everyone gives their pieces of paper ...  Read the complete review

There is a trend amongst games manufacturers, that once the original version of a game has been well-played and well-purchased, out comes the deluxe, extreme or other superlative version. Absolute Balderdash Ultimate Version is no exception. I remember playing the original Balderdash game at a Christmas family gathering when I was about 11 years old. Relegated to the back room with the cousins so the adults could get on with having a good time without being disturbed, we decided to play Balderdash. Now, being somewhat of an afterthought in the family, I was at a distinct disadvantage, being between 5 and 12 years younger than the rest of the players. My ...  Read the complete review

Absolute Balderdash is another board game from the "Balderdash" stable. As a family we buy a new board game each Christmas as we enjoy sharing precious family time. You can be glued to the telly any time! Last year there were so many good games on the market that we had difficulty choosing one. Eventually we settled on "Absolute Balderdash" and we have never regretted it! This is a super game. It is good at best, but after a few drinks it takes on a whole new dimension! The game is designed for 2- 20 plus people. They provide pieces for up to eight people so if you want to play with more you will have to borrow ...  Read the complete review
