Wise and Otherwise
Voted a Best Party Game of the Year by Games magazine, Wise and Otherwise
belongs next to Pictionary and Scrabble in your arsenal of fun. This
creative, interactive game (read: everybody shouting, flailing, laughing)
revolves around 500 cards, each emblazoned with five obscure and long-forgotten
sayings from around the world.
For example, one old Chinese saying is,
"Don't add salt to a boatload of salt fish." One side of the card states,
"Don't add salt to..." and it is the job of the players to devise probable
endings. "Don't add salt to salty soup," for example. Or, "Don't add salt
to the open wound." (The actual endings are listed on the flip sides of
the cards.) A player wins points when other players vote for his or her
special ending, or when the player guesses the actual ending, so the goal
is to finish the proverb as convincingly as possible given the geographic
region in question.
Each elegant box contains one game board, 500 cards,
six writing pads, six pencils, one die, and six player pawns. People who
love language, oddly hilarious translations, offbeat proverbs, or just
making people look foolish by guessing their very clever answers will
adore this game. We predict: The one who plays this game ... will hear the laughter.
