Cheatwell Games Family Charades

Product Information

In teams, players need to describe the word on the card to teammates but cannot say the words written on the card as they are forbidden. The entire object of Charades is to use non-verbal communication to relay a message from the actor to the team. We rarely played board games when I was younger as everything needed four players and as an only child, we only ever had three ?

The classic game of charades in an eye-catching tin is a great gift for any family member or a fantastic addition to a dinner party.

There are three rounds: describe the word, describe the word using only one word, and act out the word. Moving hands or fingers farther apart means "more", which is to encourage answering a longer form of the same word.

The acted form of charades has been repeatedly made into television game shows, including the American Play the Game, Movietown, RSVP, Pantomime Quiz, Stump the Stars, Celebrity Charades, Showoffs and Body Language; the British Give Us a Clue; the Canadian Party Game and Acting Crazy; and the Australian Celebrity Game. Today, it is common to require the actors to mime their hints without using any spoken words, which requires some conventional gestures.With mimes open to wildly different interpretations and the tension of competing against the clock, howls of laughter are almost certainly guaranteed. Players race across the board but they're not just miming to their team - anyone can guess and steal the next move. We still have the original game with a set of cards that have extra "notes" from when I was little to help explain some of the categories, like character traits!

They may not move their lips either as this can be used by team members to lip-read the clue, which is not allowed.
