As you can see, I am back, and now I've got a [wedding] ring on (okay so that part you can't see). That round of Pictionary with you and Tom is indeed one for the books :-) Also, I think I'll throw in a suggestion Josh skipped over: <strong>Tabloid Teasers</strong>. It's out of print and a bit dated, but great fun. Similar to <em>Apples to Apples</em>, but one player reads a tabloid headline with a part omitted and all players write down something to fill in the blank, then guess which is the real headline. Wackiness ensues. Gracias Nick! As you can see, I am back, and now I’ve got a [wedding] ring on (okay so that part you can’t see).

Reading the description over at The 'Geek also makes the idea of wagering on other peoples' answers sound fun. One I'll have to try. Luke - Thanks, Wits & Wagers sounds pretty neat.

Also, congratulations, Scott! The main problem with Pictionary is being partnered up with someone who will guess “Flying Winnebago” and not “Lone Star”.

Best with 6 or more players and it can be played in 25 minutes or less. No player is ever out of it, and there are no individual player turns, keeping everyone involved throughout the game. Best of all, you do not need to know trivia in order to win. This game works for a wide audience, not your traditional trivia buffs. Even kids can beat their parents, making it a great family game. It is available nationwide at Target as well. Wits and Wagers is awesome. Best with 6 or more players and it can be played in 25 minutes or less.
