Don't Say It
Describe the word. The five most useful words are banned, and someone is listening.
3 to 12 players, at least 3 people · Party · Words · About 5 to 12 min · Talking and tapping
How to play
- One player gets a word to describe out loud, and five obvious words they are not allowed to say.
- Everyone else shouts guesses. The describer taps whoever got it and a new word lands straight away.
- The next player along is the referee: they see the same card and buzz if a banned word slips out.
- A buzz costs the describer a point and bins the card. You get two skips a turn, so use them wisely.
