Outburst!

heart like heartburn or ...?

A game based on players’ vocabulary and associations, played in teams; the name indicates that you need to burst out with your knowledge, you are meant to debate, laugh and shout words. You use cards that give a topic or term and list ten words suiting the topic or featuring the term.

Players sort themselves into two teams that alternate to be active.

The non-active team is the controlling team and takes the card reader and the timer. One of the players in the active team draws a card, reads out the topic term and asks “Play or move?” If the team plays, the non-active team puts the card into the card reader and turns over the timer. The active team calls out words for the topic, e.g. for man - you should name snow man or sand man, but could also try Manila or mandala or manful or manual or manicure, you can try anything remotely featuring “man”, but do it as quickly as words come to mind and name as many as you can, because the task is to name all ten words on the card within one minute. When the timer has run out, each word that was not named is read out; each word marked in the reader scores one point and a roll of a die determines one word on the list, if it was named, you score three bonus points.

If a time decides on “move”, they discard a joker chip and draws a new card that must be played. The opposing team, in his turn, must play the moved card.

The winner of the game is the team that scores 60 points first.

A long-term bestseller in the genre of vocabulary and association games, the funniest part is always the reading of the terms that were not guessed, and the comments the cause from players!
