The Playmakers: Blurt Board Game - Fun for the whole family - Giveaway

This giveaway is closed with 124 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Jami!

Oh how my family loves a good board game! We've found our new fav - Blurt! The Playmakers sent me their clever and addictive game to review. My husband, mom and brother got in on the action and we had a great time! You will too!

Blurt moves fast. No waiting around for your turn. It incorporates everyone which is always a plus. The two different level options allow my 7 year old son to play along with us. It's a game we look forward to playing together.

Here is more about it from their website:

Blurt! The Uproarious Word Race Game is back! 2009 marks the 15th Anniversary of the game where you mouth tries to keep up with your mind.

Wanna play a game of BLURT!? What’s A joint of the finger? Sure, it’s “knuckle,” but were you first to Blurt!? How about a round window in the side of a boat? (That’s “Porthole,” but did you say it first?) Blurt is so simple, yet so fun. It’s a vocabulary builder for kids and a riot for adults. Will your mouth keep up with your mind? Just play it once and you’ll be a fan for life!


You now have a chance to win Blurt for your family!

I found out that teachers can download material so they can use this as part of a lesson plan. That should lighten up the classroom. (When I was a kid in the 1970's we played the Un Game. Anyone still remember that?)
