Blurble

Blurble - Be the first to blurt.

You're going to have to think fast to play Blurble. Everything included in the Blurble game is shown above - cards. You are looking at the back of the cards, and the front of each card shows a simple object. Here is an example:

As cards are flipped, be the first person to blurt out a word that begins with the same letter as the object on the card. Proper nouns, numbers and words with less than three letters are not allowed. Make it even more difficult by adding that no words that include part of the object name can be used. For instance words like snowflake, snowstorm or snowbank could not be used for snowman. That's it.

Object:
Be the person with the most cards at the end of the game.

Set up:
Shuffle the cards. Choose a Blurber (person who will flip the cards).

Play:
The Blurber and the person to their left start the game. The Blurber turns over the first card and both players race to see who is the first to say a word that starts with that letter. The winner takes the card. If the Blurber is the winner, then he faces-off with the next player and continues to change players for each card until he loses. At that point, the person who won is not the new Blurber and starts by playing a face-off with the person to their left. Repeat until the game is over and then each person counts their cards to determine the winner. To end a game either 1) play a certain amount of time OR 2) play until someone has won a predetermined number of cards OR 3) grab a stack of cards and play until they are gone.

Try this:

• Play with two people and let the same person be the card-flipper. Pick each card off the deck without sliding others off or toppling the pile.
• Play with several people and let one person be the Blurber, holding a small stack of cards in the non-dominant hand and pushing them off the top one at a time with the thumb. It may be more difficult to determine a winner if several people speak out at the same time.
• Name a word that begins with the last letter of the object on the card, instead of the first.
• Make up your own game. Lay two cards side-by-side and see who can be the first to come up with something they both have in common. For instance a watermelon and a vacuum both roll.
• Lay a bunch of cards face-up in a grid on the table. Take turns naming a category and taking off all the cards in that category. Winner is the person with the most cards at the end of the game.

In the box: 500 cards
