I was offered Blurt from Educational Insights to review and giveaway on Mom Start. I said yes but said that I would do the best review I can without opening the box because I want to donate it. I really want to make Christmas a happy time for others and my kids are too young to play this exciting game. One other reason I’m giving this game to charity is because it is for 3 or more players and well I may be a family of four but compressively we’re still only a family of two.
Blurt is a board game based on vocabulary, coming up with words. The object of the game is to make you way around the board before your opponents. One player will reads the definition of a word and it is up to you to be the first to guess the word. The game also has different skill levels. There are two sides to each card with one side being easier and more appropriate for younger kids.
For example, the definition might be "A Flat Moving Part That Sticks Out From The Body Of A Fish", then hopefully you can come up with the answer. When you do you blurt it out.
“Fin”
Then you would advance on the board. Simple but very mind boggling and for people like me nerve wracking. I have a love hate relationship for games like this. Especially when it’s played in a large adult party setting. Blurt would be perfect for that.
Blurt also wants one of my readers to receive one.
