Talkin' Tango

A fun party game, especially for those who also enjoy word games.

Pros

Cons

The basic goal in Talkin' Tango is for two players to help the other players guess a word. The catch is that the two "tango" partners must give their clue in sentence form, alternating words.

So the clue for banana may sound like this: "Monkeys... like... to... eat... this... yellow... fruit." Before giving the clue, partners must decide whether they need 10, 20 or 30 seconds to get the other players to guess correctly. When a word is guessed, the partners and the guesser all win points.

Tango partners are chosen randomly, so chances are good that every possible pair will work together at least once. The inability to plan your clues in advance leads to some hilarious moments when one player has no idea what his partner is trying to do.
