Party Alias (2009)

About this game

Party Alias is a standalone update of Alias. Party Alias features four major updates to the original game in terms of gameplay--these are all in terms of categories on the cards: Book: Here, players must tell a story using all the words on the card Smiley: Here the players must explain the words depicting a specific feeling (e.g. embarrassed, angry, happy, crying, afraid, drunk, depressed, and hysterical) Pose: Here the player must create unusual poses Camera: Here the player must try to describe a celebrity

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 24.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 11 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
