Absolute Balderdash

Wild, Wacky Hilarious Fun!

The popular Absolute Balderdash board game is celebrating its 20th Birthday with a mega questions refreshment and a great new category, 'Events'. You're trying to 'con' your opponents into believing your made up answers to a weird and wonderful collection of Words, People, Initials, Laws - and now Events... here's a couple for a taste.

After his recent bad experience on a rooftop in Brighton, builder Colin Jones has employed an assistant to... fend off seagulls with a broom after they sky-bombed him.
Debby Mills-Newbroughton, 99 years old, was to turn 100 the next day, but crossing the road to go to her own birthday party her wheelchair was hit by... the truck delivering her birthday cake.

When you're playing Absolute Balderdash the more porkies you tell, the more likely you are to win. The hilarity really starts when all the phoney answers the players have thought up are shuffled with the correct one, and read aloud.

Absolute Balderdash encourages bluff and double-bluff as contestants pit their wits against one another, by dreaming up and writing down wild and wacky (or positively serious!) answers to the bizarrest of questions.

If you're good at fibbing, you can win this game without knowing a single thing... Just because an answer sounds right, it doesn't mean to say it is. Often, the most ridiculous answers turn out to be true! That's what makes Absolute Balderdash so much fun to play!

Absolute Balderdash is a game for players age 12 and upwards. It is great to play with friends and family - or for anyone who has a sense of humour, and doesn't mind telling a little lie or two!
