BLURBLE

Hey there! Playing this game is all about having a big brain and an awesome vocabulary. To get started, you’ll need to know a lot of different things and be able to express yourself well. But don’t worry, it’s not as hard as it sounds!

READY, SET, GO!

Okay, let’s get this show on the road! Here’s how you play: each card has an object on it, and it’s your job to figure out what that object is. Once you have it, think of a word that starts with the same letter as the object, and blurt it out as quickly as you can. The faster you are, the better chance you have of winning against your opponent. Exciting, right?

So here’s how the game goes. First, we shuffle the cards and put them face down in the middle of the play area.

Then, we choose someone to be the “Blurber.” This person is in charge of flipping the cards.

GAMEPLAY

The Blurber takes a small stack of cards and puts it between themselves and the player on their left.

Now, the Blurber picks up the top card from the stack, flips it over, and quickly puts it face down on the table. They don’t get to see the picture first.

Here’s where it gets interesting. The Blurber and the player on their left compete against each other. Both of them try to be the first to say a word that starts with the same letter as the object shown on the card. And of course, the word has to be a legal word.

Whoever blurts out the correct word first wins the card and gets a point. The other players act as referees to make sure everything is fair.

When two players are competing, the referees have the important role of determining who spoke first and if the word spoken is accepted as legal.

If there is a tie or the referees can’t make a decision, the card in question is thrown out and another one is drawn to continue the game.

Speaking the wrong word doesn’t disqualify a player; the game continues until someone blurts out a valid word and wins the card.

Once all the cards have been used, the game ends, and points are counted to determine the winner.

The next round begins with the same Blurber, and the next player (in a clockwise direction) receives a new set of cards from a shuffled deck. This continues until the Blurber has played against every player at the table.

Each player gets a chance to be the Blurber and compete against every other player.

What words are considered legal?

I’m going to tell you how to play this game. It’s called “Blurber.” Here’s what you need to know:

First, you’ll need a deck of cards with pictures on them. The goal is to guess words that start with the same letter as the picture on the card.

There are some rules to follow. The words you guess must be in the English language. They can’t be acronyms or proper nouns. And they can’t contain the name of the image. For example, if the picture is fire, you can’t guess words like fireproof or firefly. Numbers are also not allowed.

Now, let’s talk about scoring. Every time you guess a word that meets all the rules, you get a point. At the end of the game, you count up all the points, and the player with the highest score wins.

The game continues until every player has had two turns as the “Blurber.” Then it’s time to tally up the scores and determine the winner.

I hope you have fun playing “Blurber”!

When you have a group of up to seven or eight players, the game finishes as soon as each player has had their turn as the Blurber.
