The Art of Simplicity: Board Games
Dec 28, 2008 A Good Laugh
Despite definitions such as a “Bird eating bee” and “A hospital where contagious people reside” simplicity reigns in a game of Balderdash. Yes, sometimes the wine (or beer) gets in the way of a truly remarkable answer and gives you the aforementioned …but generally speaking simple definitions seem to get the most points. “A tool used in archaelogical digs”, or ” A professional ballroom dancer”, or “Lighthearted mood” are simple definitions that seem appropriate. While complicated statements such as ” A person who become elected based on the fact that they have a stove upon which they can cook food” – seems – well rather farfetched (despite the fact that it is correct!).
I have never played Balderdash before, but it was quite fun when played last night. I stuck with simple and came in second. ” A two seated vehicle” and ” A riot between animals” were my most exotic definitions.
What are your favourite games? And, by that I mean your favourite old-fashioned board games!
My favourite are Gobblet, Cranium, and probably classic Monopoly.

My favourite game has to be Monopoly followed by Trivial Pursuit 80’s Edition. I have other favourites but I can’t remember what they are right now. Lately we have been playing the Dora version of “Trouble”.
