What Were You Thinking

Can you give the perfect clue before anyone else? What Were You Thinking? is a guessing game for horrible mind readers, and it's as fun to watch as it is to play.

Break into two teams. Shuffle the Letter Tiles and place them on The Board until it’s full. Pick one person from each team to be the Guesser. It’s your team’s job to get your Guesser to say the word from the Word Card by giving them a two word clue that starts with letters from The Board. For example, if your word is “Penguin,” your team might decide to give “Snow Bird” as a clue. But hurry, because if the other team yells out a clue first, their Guesser can guess before yours. If they get it right, that team gets to flip over the letters they used for a clue (Ex. if the winning clue is “waddling tuxedo,” they’d flip over “w” and “t”.) The team that flips 5 letters in a row wins.

This family board game makes you flex your creativity to think up unique (or outrageous) clues. But it's also an easy-to-learn and simple-to-play strategy game that's different every time you play.
