Party Game

Hoopla

A timed version of Cranium, designed for two or more players to play cooperatively.

Each player is dealt 4 cards depicting commonly known people, places, or objects. Another 8 cards are added to a common Play Pile. Players then take turns rolling a die to determine what type of clues can be given, starting the timer, selecting a card from their hand, and trying to get the other players to guess what is on that card as quickly as possible.

The four types of clues that can be given to describe your cards are:

Cloodle - provide clues by drawing and doodling
Tongue-Tied - use alliteration to give as many clues as possible that start with a single letter
Soundstage - act out or provide sound effects for clues (but you can't use words!)
Tweener - give hints in the form "It's bigger than blank but smaller than blank", using two objects that imply the answer

After someone guesses the card in play, stop the timer and draw a new card from the Play Pile. The next player takes the die and repeats the same process, until either no cards are left or the available 15 minutes are gone.

Players who are stuck on a particular card can choose to discard that card, but two new cards must then be added to the game instead - one card is placed directly in that player's hand, and a penalty card is added to the Play Pile.

The game is won by all players if they can work together to guess all of the cards in play before the timer runs out.

Babble

A fast paced, Bible based, outrageously fun game! Babble!™ is an exciting new Bible game with a fresh style of play. Every player draws two cards and start calling out the words on the cards. Wait, did someone else just yell out "cross"? Yes! A match! Both players place their matching cards together. One player grabs a die and rolls it while the other player calls out "odd" or "even". If the guessing player guesses right, that player gets the match! If not, the player rolling the die gets the match. Each match is worth one point. The players then draw a new card and start calling out words again. Its so simple!
The game contains six decks of cards with each deck being a different category. The six Categories are Symbols, Books, Places, People, Animals, and Things found in the Bible. Each card has five words related to that category. After playing through all six decks the player with the most points wins the game!
Babble!™ is a terrific game for a large number of players. It is great to play with friends, family, and church groups!

Battle of the Sexes

Players divide into two teams: men vs. women. The goal is to move your team's pawns across the game board. Along the way teams will have to answer questions about the opposite sex in order to move. For example, "How many lugs are on the typical wheel?" or "Where is the Superdome located?" are questions that would be given to the female team. "How do you stop a run in stockings?" or "What type of nut is used to make marzipan?" would be given to the males. The first team to move all four of their pawns across the board wins.

Concept

In Concept, your goal is to guess words through the association of icons. A team of two players – neighbors at the table – choose a word or phrase that the other players need to guess. Acting together, this team places pieces judiciously on the available icons on the game board.

To get others to guess "milk", for example, the team might place the question mark icon (which signifies the main concept) on the liquid icon, then cubes of this color on the icons for "food/drink" and "white". For a more complicated concept, such as "Leonardo DiCaprio", the team can use the main concept and its matching cubes to clue players into the hidden phrase being an actor or director, while then using sub-concept icons and their matching cubes to gives clues to particular movies in which DiCaprio starred, such as Titanic or Inception.

The first player to discover the word or phrase receives 2 victory points, the team receives points as well, and the player who ends up with the most points wins.
