Sounds Fishy: The Fast-Thinking, Bluffing Family Board Game for Kids 10+ and Adults | Best New Board Games | Same Game, Smaller Box

Product Information

We giggled our way through the style of answer one player consistently gave, only to assume red herring – where miraculously, it was the one time she played blue. Sounds Fishy is a push-your-luck communication game where you try to spot fake answers whilst avoiding the real ones.

The fun and hilarity in this game comes from the crazy answers people give and you are 100% sure they are lying only to be told it is the truth. They’ll also win a bonus if they correctly identify everyone, without falling prey to the True Blue Kipper. That’s because of course, the questions have a hint of silliness to them in most occasions, so providing a slightly absurd answer is often within the theming, where hilarity then ensues. Sounds Fishy isn’t about always knowing the right answer — it’s about being able to spot the fake ones. Not having to justify your response one way or another is a bit anticlimactic, for example, and while it's not necessarily a feature I wish was present, it's an example of there not being quite enough skill at play here.The Guesser reads the question aloud and the other players will see the question and the answer (in bold blue). For all players other than the Guesser, the scoring is a bit different – but very tied to their objectives.

The insert, which holds everything perfectly, is made of recycled paper and it certainly has that smell which reminds you of its green credentials. Written by parents for parents, the database complements the in-depth discussion about video game addiction, violence, spending and online safety in the Taming Gaming book.It’s a different way of thinking to most bluffing games of this style – pick the wrong answers first –and on first few plays, with any group found players would occasionally forget, causing us to restart.
