Description

The Foreign Language Bluffer’s Game Don’t worry if you are completely floored by Finnish or totally baffled by Bulgarian. It doesn’t matter a jot if Japanese is all Greek to you and Swahili sounds like Double Dutch. Nothing’s lost if you’re ineffective in Efik and totally hopeless in Hopi. Anyone who can bluff in English, can certainly flummox in Flummoxed and thoroughly enjoy this marvellous play on words. At the beginning of each round, one player, The Reader, picks up a card. Printed on one side of the card are background notes on a foreign language. On the other side are six words in that language, plus an English definition of each word. The Reader reads one word aloud, revealing the language from which the word comes, but not the meaning of the word. Each other player has to ‘translate’ the given word and write a fake but plausible definition for it in an attempt to bluff fellow players into believing the definition is correct. Age 8+ For 4+ Players Product Contents 120 x Cards representing different languages 1 x Writing Pad 1 x Die 1 x Set of Rules Product Safety Not suitable for children under 36 months
