Humm Bug - The Hum 'n'Guesing game.

Humm Bug is a game from board game masters Cheatwell Games. Like all of their games Humm Bug is very easy to play and great fun.

The game is essentially a first pass the post chase game. Each team takes it in turns to pick a card and hum a song from the 50's up until the noughties against the clock. If your team guesses correctly you move forward if not you stay where you are.

We played this game at Christmas and had a great laugh. There is a wide variety of questions from The Rolling Stones to Britney Spears, although children will not do very well with the older songs. I don't know what it is about humming but it tends to send people into fits of giggles - if you can decipher the tune between laughing you will do well. The rules of the game are that you can only hum the tune no la,la la's etc. It is a shame they do not specify no actions as my Dad won the game by seeming to know the actions to a multitude of songs including the Macerena and The Locomotion! Sit down Dad you are embarrassing yourself and everyone else and no we don't need to see you and me Mam do the Lambada grrr. It is also pretty funny when someone doesn't know the song so just has to make up the way they think the song should sound.

Cheatwell Games on the whole are not expensive board games - I got this one for about £12 from Amazon.
