Drummond Park Articulate!

I first stumbled across this game a few years ago, when I was invited over to a friend's house for a get-together. Articulate! (the exclamation mark is very important), was wheeled out and has since become one of my favourite games. The object of the game is to be the first team to reach the finish segment of the board, which is done by describing as many words as possible to your team mates in 30 seconds. As your team shout out their guesses you struggle to articulate a better description - it really is very simple but great fun. Preparing to Play: Articulate! is played on a circular board which is divided into segments representing ...  Read the complete review

~Bit of banter to make review more interesting~ Since going off on some jolly holidays, I have found that my bank account has been suffering (obviously those millions of pounds I earn from ciao are sitting in a high interest savings account), so in an attempt to save money, I have taken to having games nights with my sister, her boyfriend and Snarf. We have played a couple of games (left over from our childhood), but the most recent that we played was Articulate. ~Bit about Articulate (to bulk out this review)~ I first discovered this hilarious game a couple of Christmas' ago, when Snarf's parents bought it as a "family" present, and ...  Read the complete review

“A fox who says “boom, boom” “The first name of the owner of Fawlty Towers and something you apply paint with” Got it?? Basil Brush! How would you have described it? This is what Articulate is all about. Describing words to your fellow team members. It is a great family and group game that can have you in hysterical laughter, especially at some of the weird descriptions that people come out with! This game really does prove that we do not all think alike! Who is it for? The game requires a minimum of 4 players but there isn’t really a maximum number as each team can have any number of ...  Read the complete review

Twas the season to play board games...fa la la la la... It was like returning to days of yore when I woke to find Santa had been and left me a board game this Christmas. The Xmas 2001 addition to the house board games was...Articulate. Now, as it comes from Santa I obviously don't know how much it cost him. Having searched the internet I've found the rrp is £24.99. Fairly costly on the face of it but not unusual when compared to similar items. I have no doubt that our friends at the major chain stores, supermarkets and online shops have it at a much discounted price. If this hadn't have been a gift from the man in red and I had money ...  Read the complete review

This game really should be named 'The Laughter Game' or 'The I'm Going To The Toilet Right Now Before I Wet Myself Game'. The title doesn't give much away, but the game is fantastic! At least four players are required to play the game as there is a minimum of 2 teams with at least 2 players in each team. There is no maximum on the number of players, in fact, the more the better. The game consists of a simple board with a spinner in the middle, some pieces for the players to move around the board, an egg-timer and lots of small credit-card sized cards. The board is really simple. Start to finish is simply a load of long ...  Read the complete review
