Reverse Charades (2010)

About this game

Reverse Charades flips the charade standard of one person giving clues to a large group on its head by splitting the players (six or more) into two teams, then having all but one person on a team work together to get that one person to guess as many words as possible in sixty seconds. Each guessed word is worth one point; each word spoken or mouthed costs that team a point. After each player has guessed once, the team with the most points wins. The same concept has been applied to make it suitable for families and children ages 6 and up, see Reverse Charades Junior Edition.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 6 to 99.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
