Malarky (1996)

Overview

Malarky is a bluffing and trivia party game where players try to outwit each other by inventing believable answers to quirky questions. Each round, a reader selects a trivia question—often odd or humorous in nature—such as, “Why does Mickey Mouse have only four fingers?”

One player receives the real answer hidden inside a wallet, while the others receive blank "bluff" cards. Players take turns reading their supposed answers aloud, making up explanations if needed. After all answers are read, players vote on which one they believe is the true explanation.

Points are awarded for guessing correctly and for fooling others into believing your fake answer. With its blend of trivia and creativity, Malarky delivers hilarious results and fast-paced rounds, perfect for fans of Balderdash, Out of Context, or Fictionary/The Dictionary Game.
