Description
This is a noisy party game with one super, simple mission – you can’t say “umm”.
Two teams race to get their pieces to the end of the board first. They’ll do it by describing as many strange sounding objects as they can, from the random cards they pick up. The only problem is: you can’t say “umm”. Every time you do, the bell will sound, adding to the pressure!
As each team gets closer to the end, more and more sounds become off limit, making it a frantic dash to the finish line.

Such a fun game. You’d never play the same game twice because of all the different rule cards.

I played this with my family and during game night, and getting everyone to join in was a bit of a challenge at first. Some people were hesitant because they were convinced they’d say “umm” too much and couldn’t handle the pressure. To ease them into it, we played a round without that rule, which helped everyone feel more comfortable and willing to give it a shot. Once they got into the groove, they realized how fun and engaging it was and even commented, “Oh, this is kind of like Taboo!” It ended up being a great icebreaker and a big hit!

I liked this game because it was very interactive and I got to have a lot of fun and creativity with my friends and family. However, it was challenging to do for the first few rounds because it was confusing and there were rules that we kept forgetting. Overall, I thought it was a solid game. Highly recommend especially for parties and reunions to break the ice.

We got this game through a promotion from Big Potato Games & played it with a group of friends during a Friendsgiving get together. It was a little confusing to understand at first but as soon as we got the hang of it, it was great! It was really funny seeing who could handle not saying Umm & who couldn't!

Very challenging to play, I've never thought that I would actually play a game that makes me think before I let the word umm escape my lips. My daughter an I loved the game.

Fast paced fun game that challenges you to limit your filler words! This game was hilarious because some people in our family 50% of their vocab is filler words so watching them try to focus and not get dinged. Or for some just accepting they will get dinged a lot made it so funny to play with our family during the holidays. Can’t wait to bring this one out more Big Potato never fails!

I really enjoyed this game, it is somewhere between Catchphrase and Poetry for Neanderthals where you need to give clues but be very careful with your speaking, as any errant "thinking word" will give a point to your opponents. If you get easily frustrated this might not be for you as it can be easy to get on penalty chains where you mess up which leads to messing up again. Hearing the bell ding each time you make a mistake is annoying in the best way when it comes to party games.

We played this as a family with our three kids- 12, 16, and 19. It was a lot more fun than everyone thought it was going to be. We discovered that when you say ummm and somebody dings the bell at you, you're very likely to keep saying ummm, resulting in more aggressive bell dings. Most of the time we weren't able to get anybody to guess the word because of all the dinging and laughing. It was definitely challenging!
Fun, easy to learn party game

We played this game with a group of friends this weekend and really enjoyed it. The rules are simple and a large number of people can play (you split into two teams). The only suggestion I would have is instead of an hourglass timer it should have some kind of timer that buzzes when time is up. Whichever team is not trying to guess the two words is listening to the describer and making sure they are not saying umm, or the other rules the cards say. This means one person is pushing the bell, another is moving the point token, etc. There is a lot going on at once and we found we would miss the fact that the timer was done. We ended up just using timer on our cell phone that buzzed when the 45 sec is up and it was much easier.
Too much fun!

This game is perfect for family friendly fun! It is perfect for get togethers, and is perfect for drinking with friends as well. It is very easy to play, and the instructions are simple and easy to understand. The game can last for quite a while, and once you hit those last 5 spaces, it can quite difficult to not make a brain fart noise! Highly recommend this for all ages, my husband (38) loved it and so did my daughters friends (7-10).
Fun New Game!

Super fun game to play with family and friends. You never realize how much you say “um” or other filler words until you play this game! We really enjoy the other rules limiting the words you say. This game makes you think on your feet and will make you laugh!
