In the game, the players invent a visual pattern, and then the players take turns coloring in spaces on a board. One player tries to build the pattern while the other tries to prevent him from doing so. The player who succeeds in his goal wins. (more…)

I’m hoping to build this list to about 1000 phrases in the coming week. After I get a larger amount in there, I’ll break it into smaller categories.

Which is great to see, as I didn’t think that many people would be using this site.

So thanks to whoever put us up on Wikipedia and on digg.

Anyway, in just the past 7 days, more than 2200 cards have been printed, and over 1000 cards have been generated just playing via the web!

Since I’m seeing that people are using it, I’m going to start adding in a few more features, so please let me know if you have any suggestions. Suggest!
Thanks again!

Well I just happened upon their website and it’s got a ton of great stuff.

If you are bored you can play online by watching videos that have been posted of people doing the various actions (Cameo, Sculpturades, Humdinger, etc) and you can try to guess what their doing. (more…)

Started building the Charades Ideas site today.

The idea for the site came when I was playing Pop5 Cranium with some friends (great game for the record!). We finished a game and decided to play some charades instead so we didn’t use all of the cards that came with the game right away. The problem we immediately ran into was that there was no good way to generate all the words and phrases to use in the game. We ended up with just having everyone write some things down on paper and putting them in a hat, but since we had a fairly small group, you very often got yours, which wasn’t a whole lot of fun since you already knew the answer.
