In a Pickle

Here's another word game with cards, but this one doesn't have a guessing element. It's more of an association game, specifically in terms of size. You have to link two nouns with one being able to "fit into" another. And you can go as literal or figurative, or as silly or serious, as you like. You could, of course, put a Pickle in a Jar. Or you could put a Brain in a Bucket. (ew!) And maybe Art is bigger than Asia. Or you could draw a Circle around . . . just about anything, so don't waste that Circle card. It's a winner.

I think the possibilities are a little too endless, and that may be this game's downfall. You can challenge the more tenuous links, but this puts you in greater danger of having your own links challenged later on. Or you can let your opponents' more tenuous links slide, and then get annoyed because you reach a point where you can claim to put almost anything into almost anything else, and that's just too silly. 

I actually voted to get rid of this game; not because I hated it, but because I didn't love it, and our Game Cabinet is so full that there's no way we could cram another game in there; if we don't get rid of any games, we'll never be able to get any new ones. But . . . Finn loved it! And we have decided that as long as anyone votes to keep it, we keep it.
