Blurt is a fast-paced and fun game that’s sure to boost everyone's vocabulary in a hurry! The game begins with the roll of the die, which determines which definition or clue you’ll be reading aloud from the card. Each card contains a clue that describes a word, and all players have to blurt out their guesses as quickly as possible. The player has the goal of guessing the word first, so that he is ahead on the board.
Players take turns rolling the die, reading the clue, and blurting out the answer. The moment someone utters the correct word, he takes a step further ahead on the board. Whoever completes circling around the board up to the finish line wins the game first. With over 1800 clues across 300 cards, there's no shortage of challenging yet fun vocabulary to keep everyone on their toes.
Blurt is quick thinking-fast reacting. Perfect for family game nights, classroom activities, or at the youth group events, this game brings a bundle of laughs and screaming moments. Rules are not complicated to follow, hence affording players of all ages a chance in the game, yet again affording a chance to learn new words and phrases in the process.
Whether you’re trying to describe something as simple as a “dog” or as tricky as a “hippopotamus,” Blurt makes expanding your vocabulary a lot more enjoyable. It’s a great way to engage in friendly competition while improving language skills. Perfect for a variety of settings, Blurt is a fantastic game to play with friends and family alike!

I figure the rule @Joanie refers to is a typo -- We play it where that if you land on the same color square as the lead player, then you can challenge them. (Then there's no cheating by choosing a orange marker)

We are frustrated with the rule about landing on a s square that matches the color of your pawn. There are only 4 colors represented by squares on the board and more pawn colors than that. How do you handle this problem?

My wife is a big fan of this game and insists we play it at every get together. I probably have the game rules memorized after hearing her explain how to play so many times. Fun game but some of the clues I've heard over and over so it's a little easier for me to play.
