Fictionaire Classic - The Encyclopedia Fictionnica

[Fic•tion•aire: Person who tricks opponents into choosing the wrong word definition in the dictionary game.]

You may know it as dictionary, fictionary, Balderdash... or even "Call My Bluff", the classic British TV game show; but it could just as easily be called "the making up lies to fool your friends" game!

Fictionaire is a new quiz card game from Days of Wonder that gives a fresh twist to this classic genre.

In Fictionaire, players make up a bogus definition or fake answer for a word or question asked by the game’s host, trying to trick him or her into believing that their answer is correct. To earn points, players either choose the right definition—or get someone to pick their answer. If a player bluffs someone into choosing the wrong answer, they earn a bonus point.
