About this game

There’s no time to lose… so grab some clues! Can you get the other players to guess the word KANGAROO? You can’t talk or act— but you can find, grab and play just the right clues from 120 descriptive tiles as everyone shouts out their guesses. You play living, wild, and tall. Is it a Redwood? A giraffe? A basketball player? Nope. Keep playing tiles like furry, brown and bouncy. Once another player yells out KANGAROO, try a new word before time runs out! That’s the funny, noisy, unique, entertaining, magical, fast-moving fun of FUNGLISH! The word-guessing game that lets you express it and guess it with piles of tiles!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 99.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
