Medium
"Medium At one of the Tabletop Gaming Live conventions a game became legend among the Zatu bloggers. A game that created laughter and memories. That game was medium. Many party games play on the 'psychic' connect between people and Medium might just be the best one yet. Medium is a big box of words on card. They are split into various decks that are put together using some sort of lexical voodoo. Depending on the player count you will combine a certain number of decks and shuffle them together, before dealing each player six cards. Two players start and when they are done play moves on to the next pair in a clockwise fashion. It only moves one spot though so the player on the left will play next with the player to their right and it continues this way until the required amount are scored by one player of the cards run out. Each of the two players choose a word card from their hand, either randomly or not. Both players then look at the two words and try to think of a word that connects them to each other. For example if the two cards say 'Hole' and 'Cake' the connecting word could be 'Donut'. Once both players have thought of a word they count to three and say it together. If they say the same word they score maximum points. If they say different words they play again but this time the base words are the words they said as answers. So in the example above if the players had said 'donut' and 'Jam' these would be the new words they must try to connect. If they fail again they get one more chance with the next two words they guess. It's a clever system that more often than not creates laugh out loud moments. Whether that is peoples weird brains or watching a pair get frustrated by their inability to sync up! There is also an expansion to add even more variation! Player count: 2-8 Time: 30-45 minutes Age rating: 14+"
