This is a game that my husband and brother-in-law love to play, because it lets them do some creative lying. And it's always ridiculous answers, so everyone is laughing. Do you know what a muntin is? How about a cogger? Use Balderdash to learn, and have a fun time with your friends and family too!

What is Balderdash?

Now buying Balderdash from the store today, it might have different game play than the one we grew up with. But the basics are still the same -- players take turns as the "dasher," reading out quirky words while everyone else writes crazy possible definitions of what the word might mean. The definitions don't need to be accurate, but the next step is for everyone to separate the real definition from the fakes.

Why Balderdash?

  1. Unrivaled Creativity: Craft absurd definitions, concoct wild movie ideas, and dream up bizarre laws.
  2. Endless Laughter: Prepare for non-stop laughter as players attempt to outwit each other with inventive bluffs and guesses.
  3. Accessible Fun: Balderdash is easy for players of all ages, as long as they can read and write (or have another player do it for them).

How to Play Balderdash:

  1. Setup: Gather your friends, set up the game board, and choose a "dasher" to kick off the fun.
  2. Gameplay: The dasher reads a word or phrase aloud, and players write down their fake definitions. The goal? Convince others that your definition is the real one!
  3. Guessing: After hearing all definitions, players vote on which they believe is true. Points are awarded for guessing correctly or fooling others with your definition.
