Hey Gang,
Wanted to showcase a future channel review that we having coming up. This game is Deck Around and it is developed by Chris Lesinski. I have had the chance to talk to Chris about this game while getting things ready for our official review and I have to say that I really like the concept. Essentially Deck Around is a party game where you mash up Balderdash with Urban Dictionary.
My worry with this game and more about this in our official review is that there is always a shelf life with these kind of party games, where you just know the content to well for it to be a challenge anymore. At the same time I don’t ever think party games are about winning or losing, it is about cutting back with friends and family and having a great time. Deck Around seems like a great way to kick back and have a blast.
From the campaign:
How to Play
Watch the video above to find out how to play. Here’s a quick description for if you can’t hear or something:
-
You’ll get a deck full of slang terms — words like twerking or Dutch oven — but more obscure. You pick a random one and everyone writes a made up but convincing definition for the word and anonymously hands it in.
-
One person reads all the definitions aloud, including the actual definition of the word, which is randomly mixed in.
-
Everyone guesses which definition is the real one. They usually fall for someone else’s bullshit definition.
