Using a deck of cards containing conjugations of funny words, famous names, places and wild cards, players make grammatically correct, justifiable sentences. They then read these aloud and explain their meaning to the jury (other players). The jury votes on whether the sentence and justification stand and then scores. The 540 cards, with more than 2,500 words, insure billions of possible sentences and laughs. “This is truly the first patented game in history to turn language into a seriously hilarious game,” Chairman Don McNeill of McNeill Designs for Brighter Minds told TDmonthly. The game received the 2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal and the iParenting Media “HOT” Award, and was a winner of the FAO Schwarz Inventors Toy Audition. Launch date: May 5, 2005.

Twisted Fish
MSRP: $9.95
Age: 10 and up
Category: Card Games

ToyDirectory Product ID#: 8539

Twisted Fish takes the traditional “Go Fish” and casts it into the 21st century. Challenging game play requires strategy, deception and bluffing skills, plus an intact sense of humor. Five suits add an extra element of difficulty. Watch out for tricky “Zinger” Cards like the “Dead Scuba Diver” or the “Two Fisted Fisherman.” Rendered in colorful, original comic illustrations by Hollywood special-effects artist Jody Fedele, these funny fish provide a unique glimpse of what's really going on under the sea. The game includes 65 Playing Cards, 8 "Zinger" Cards, Quick Reference Cards, and a Rules Sheet. It is for 3 to 6 players, and was an FAO Schwarz Inventors Toy Audition winner. 7/11/2006 [Add to my Inquiry Basket][?]
