...

Pros: You will laugh so hard you are bound to lose the game for your team.
Cons: none

I first saw this game played in Singapore, of all places. Every Chinese New Year, the staff of the company I worked for would spend the afternoon-before the holiday break- whooping it up. I soon learned that the Singaporeans loved to play games and...

Pros: Excellent party fun
Cons: Not enough game cards.

If you have ever played the game charades then this game called Guesstures has a little twist to it. If you have never played the game Charades then you will need to review the rules. Basically, with Charades, you are either given a word or a phrase...

Cons: Needs a fair amount of space
