Balderdash board game
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balderdash

Real simple premise.  One player has the correct answer and other players guess by creating their own answer and trying to out bluff other players into choosing the incorrect answer.

For BB purposes, we will have to use the honor system in not looking up the answers on the internet.  Let's be creative.  I will choose the words and supply the first bluff answers.  Only the topics Dates and Initials are chosen randomly.  Words, Names, Places, and Movies are real.

Topics:
Words (What is it?)
Names (Who are they and why are they significant?)
Places (What makes them special?)
Dates (What significant event happened?)
Initials (What do they stand for?)
Movies (What is the plot?)

1st Round
Words - raglan
Names - David Hilbert
Places - Spotted Lake
Dates - March 9th, 1983
Initials - PHA
Movies - Stuff Stephanie In the Incinerator

raglan - term for outdoor upholstery in Scotland
David Hilbert - Harvard student who first pioneered the act of removing all the objects in a Dean's office and placing them outside on campus in exact same position
Spotted Lake - fresh water lake located inside an underground cavern near Las Vegas
March 9th, 1983 - first edition of fanzine Gothhair
PHA - Pedestrian Highway Association
Stuff Stephanie In the Incinerator - Three bumbling repairmen ransom over a stuffed doll worth millions with the threat of burning the doll if not paid.

Good luck!
