Balderdash!
The world should know that our fieldtrip to Target produced the very best of competitive board gaming. While Scattergories has often caused conflict and forced Hannah into hiding, our purchase of Balderdash was genius and caused a bit of upheaval when Hannah stole the game, with her opponents barely halfway through. (Note the orange "man" in the picture above. That's Hannah.)
In their retirement, Hannah, Matt and Lesley Anne Stalvey (LAS) unwrapped the purchase and delved into the joy of Balderdash. With the ultimate goal to fool your components into choosing your false definition of the given word, movie, person, etc., word choice as well as a solid poker face are keys to success. While a generally consistent winning strategy of Scattergories, Matt's desire for dick references became his tell in this inaguaral Balderdashery. Hannah had the bad habit of beaming every time someone chose her answer. And LAS had a bit of a tough time with the whole literacy thing.
Overall, the festivities were cheery and the game had the perfect mix of intelligence, strategy and bawdy humor. I predict a rematch.
