if it's just obscure words that isnt too bad

how do the cards for balderdash work, and is it possible for someone find them or make their own?

Basically how the game should be built/the rules are:

1. Everyone takes turns being the *DASHER*. Each round, the *DASHER* sits out of a submission
2. An obscure word shows up on the board
2. Everyone but the *DASHER* is given time to write a definition, this could be the real definition if they know it. If you do not know the definition, make as realistic (or wacky!) of a definition for it and submit it into the text box
3. Once all submissions are in, everyone but the *DASHER* clicks the definition they think is the real definition of the word. The real definition is also put into the mix.


Points:

1 point is given for every vote the person receives for their definition
2 points are awarded to anyone who chooses the REAL definition
3 points are given to the *DASHER* if no one chooses the real meaning
3 points are given to anyone whose definition is close to the real definition of the word

This doesn't look like a great game for online considering anyone could google dictionary the word. :/ any ideas, people?

What is a literal gosh?

Oh my literal gosh Shacky. I have no idea what's wrong with me and my theirs today....sigh.

their*, and i'd assume he'd get it once he actually builds the game

The thing is, for Balderdash you need a long list of obscure words and their respective definitions. Does lucid have this? :P

no worries dude! hey, when you coming to palo alto? we should meetup

September 15th is move in day for me, I'll email you more about it later today.

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you though, I've been taking care of loose ends and trying to think of some good questions.

is there a theme to it, or is it just a bunch of words you think would be good for draw it

The new word deck if anyone wants to make it with their tokens: http://pastebin.com/gDLjLDSW

I'd make it myself but I only have one token and no way of getting more. =)

What about a game kinda like betrayal at the house on the hill? I think it would be kinda fun to have a creepy game like that. :3
Not entirely sure how it would work or how it could be coded but I like the idea behind that game.

OOOH balderdash is so fun! :)

and make sure it isn't copyrighted. yeah, simon says is damn easy to make, i can code that in 2 days...

can someone email me the rules of balderdash?

Simon Says lol- Like the pad thing with 4 buttons. Each person repeats the pattern until he/she misses.

Something like Balderdash would work REALLY well on this website.

what.

The game where you are the guy and he tells all of the other guys what to do, except each one has a different color and nobody knows whether or not they are supposed to listen, because depending on what he says they may even need to draw something in response, but if they do draw in response and he made it clear, (perhaps secretly), that he didn't want them to, then they should loose a point or be disqualified for trying to draw when they shouldn't have, although in another case they could have been on a team, but in that case weren't. But they each get their own color to go on unless on each turn the person who is in charge and telling them what to do tells them, while making it clear in SOME way, that they aren't supposed to be doing anything anyways, and there could be a penalty for that.

Just an idea for a game. I haven't seen it before, but I'm sure you could make something like that.
