Michael ★★★★★

We played this three rounds in a row at dinner and my ribs hurt from laughing. The single-syllable rule is brutal when you're trying to say "fire truck" and all you've got is "red big car." The stick is a great touch for enforcing the rules without anyone getting too upset.

Abigail ★★★★★

The first time someone got bonked with that inflatable stick for slipping a two-syllable word, we all lost it. It’s simple enough to teach in a minute, and the single-syllable rule forces some genuinely hilarious brain freezes.

Christopher ★★★★★

The "speak in one syllable or get bonked" rule sounds silly but it actually forces you to think fast, and the stick is a great prop for keeping the chaos friendly. We got through a whole round with my non-gamer parents and they were laughing as hard as the kids.
