The Game of Saying 'Huh?!' (2017)

Overview

From the creator of video game classic Puyo Puyo comes a party game to test your acting abilities.

Use only facial expressions and the tone of your voice (and sometimes less than that) to portray different scenarios.

Does that “Ha-“ sound angry, heartbroken, or curious? Players draw a card that determines a topic sound like “Ha-“ or “Eh” along with a list of eight different scenarios. Individual players then draw a card that assigns them a scenario from the list to enact. Without using any body gestures, players act out their scenario to each other and try to guess who was assigned what.

The Game of Saying ‘Huh’ will test your skills of wit and mimicry and bring plenty of laughter and fun to game nights. The game is played in rounds using a different Task card for each round. At the top is a single word or a short phrase you will each have to say, but each of you in a unique way. There are 8 ways listed on the Task card from A to H and you’ll be secretly assigned one of them at random. You might have to say ‘Hello!’ like you’re talking to a pet, like you’re a vampire or like you’re the president. There are lots of common phrases and sayings, as well as a few actions thrown in for good measure. But here’s the tricky part: you can only use your voice and facial expression to convey the meaning of what’s on the card. Gestures or movement of any kind below the neck are not allowed. When you’ve finished making your impression, everybody votes in secret, assigning the correct lettered task to your performance.

When everyone’s finished acting their part, it’s time for the big reveal: you’ll score if you guessed correctly who acted out which cue, and collect points yourself when others correctly identify your performance. The player with the most points when all the voting is complete wins the game!
