Articulate!

We seem to have a plethora of describe-the-word guessing games. (Which is not surprising, since we all really enjoy them.) Next up, Articulate! In a way it's easier than Taboo (because there is only one word that is taboo, rather than a list of them) and easier than Funglish (because you're not selecting from a limited number of descriptors that you have to hunt for) but at times it's still surprisingly hard to get someone to guess one word. Hard, but fun! And part of the reason it was so much fun was because it's easier than Funglish or Taboo. Especially when playing with a youngster. He did a better job with this one rather than constantly getting stuck.

Verdict: it might seem silly to have so many similar games. But it also seems silly to get rid of a game that we had so much fun playing.
