The Essentials
This card game is pure fun based on trying to speak when our mouth is retracted in a comical, static, toothy “grin”.
Each team of two (2) has a “Reader” and an “Interpreter” — the “Interpreter” has to decipher the phrase the “Reader” is reading. The kicker is that the “reader” has to wear a mouth piece, called a cheek retractor that holds their lips apart. Each team is allowed two minutes to interpret as many phrases as they can. No “passing” is allowed, the Reader has to keep trying the same phrase until the Interpretor gets it right!
The game is over after 4 rounds, the team with the highest points wins.
This family friendly game contains 10 mouthpieces (4 child-sized and 6 adult sized); 143 phrase cards, and 1 timer.
Fun Factor
This game makes people belly laugh! There are those that find wearing the cheek-retractor too embarrassing because it does result in a highly comical, large-all tooth “grin” that just adds to comedy, as the game progresses. There are 5 expansion packs, 2 of which are family friendly, the other 3 are NSFW (Adults only) — this variety adds to the fun and freshness of the game.
Kid consultants give this game 2 thumbs up! Parents give it high marks for engagement and laughs.
Set-Up and Clean-Up
Set-up, clean-up, and storage of this game is relatively easy, as the mouth guards are dishwasher safe — but they do require that extra step to sanitize. them before storing. I recommend storing the cards, timer, and mouth pieces in a wide but thin container with compartments that fits in the original box or in ziploc bags. The cards are sturdy and easy to handle without bending them if you have adequate hand skills.
The IF-THEN’S and the BUT’S
If your child has difficulty reading and has good articulation — read the phrase to them as a co-reader, in a location the Interpreter can’t hear.
