CLARENDON GAMES Wordsmithery Game - Party Quiz Word Definition Game - 2 Players

I played this game on vacation with my sister and my husband. We had a ball! The words were familiar but not, strange or not, but all fun to learn about. You'll learn new stuff and laugh doing it.

I bought this game primarily to play with my nine-year-old grandchild and we have had lots of fun playing it. Her vocabulary is very good and therefore she finds it really encouraging to play this game. But I have also played it with an adult friend and that proved to be great fun too - lots of laughter and some enjoyable embarrassment as we found we didn’t know the exact meaning of quite as many words as we thought we did.. It’s beautifully packaged and very attractive and will make a great present for Christmas. I shall be ordering some more!

I bought this for a friend at work who loves interesting words. She was so excited to play this with her family. She said she played it over the phone with her kids and they had a great time.

This is a game similar to one our family have played at Christmas for at least three generations. In our version each player takes it in turn to choose a slightly obscure dictionary word, and everyone else writes their own definition, and the "correct" and "incorrect" ones are mixed and read by the "chooser". Everyone else votes for what they think the definition is, and points are earned accordingly. This game is a more organised way of playing but along similar lines. We have played it as directed, and also used the cards instead of the dictionary to find suitable words. Recommended for fun, a challenge and to enrich your word power.

This game is a great way to expand vocabulary. It made us laugh at many points when we were guessing at the definitions.The spelling of some words differ from that found in the U.S. English however for us that isn’t a bother and even adds to the learning. Likewise some of the phonetic pronunciations differ from that of U.S. English.I do wish the rules/scoresheet had more than ten points to win. Of course we can have “house rules” but since there is a scoresheet with the numbers 1-10 we want to use that as well.Game time for 2 players was 25-30 minutes.
