A Rhyme in Time

2–8 players · 120 min

Another party game along the lines of Pictionary. Only this time, as you move around the board, you or your team have to complete rhymes in different ways.

In the first, you are given a word (HAM, for example) and have to create a four line rhyme: Have you seen my brother Sam? Lately he's been such a ham. He was desperate for money, and in a jam. So he went on a comedy show dressed as madame.

Players then vote on whether you told a good story. If you did, keep going. If not, pass your turn.

Other challenges include making a rhyme using 4 of 6 given words, an all play category where everyone takes turns rhyming a particular word until someone can't, and the last which requires you recall two line rhymes from literary or musical works (If you step on a crack, you'll break your mother's back, or, All the way with LBJ).

Like many of these games, it ends by answering a challenge given by your opponents.
