Hasbro Gaming Express Yourself Game

Amazon.com Fans of Pictionary, Cranium, Rigamarole, and the like will love this hilarious and challenging variation on the classic Charades theme. Cluegivers "express" themselves by speaking, acting, or drawing clues to selected words, while Guessers try to guess the word within 10 seconds. Tiny, occasionally wishy-washy talking hosts direct the activity from within the electronic game (well, okay, they're not really inside the game, but that's where the voices come from!). Teams of two are set up randomly and change constantly throughout the game, as does the clue-giving method. After each player "signs in" to the game by selecting a chip and responding to the hosts' query, a Cluegiver is selected by the hosts. This player selects a card and lowers it into a slot in the game unit. The hosts pull the card into the game, "read" the word, then send the card back out, telling the Cluegiver how (and to whom) to give clues. Beyond this fun electronic twist, the action proceeds more or less along the same lines as the above games. You can't really go wrong with this formula, though, can you? (Three AA batteries required--not included. For three to six players.) --Emilie Coulter From the Manufacturer Insert your secret word card into the game unit - the electronic announcer will tell you what to do next! How will you get your friends t guess the word? Will you act it out? Give verbal clues? Draw it? Only the announcer knows!
