Gameplay in Brief:
More than one million copies of this party game have been sold. In Blurt! (subtitled "The Uproarious Word Race Game"), players compete to shout the word that matches a definition. The first player or team to get the word right moves their pawn forward; the winner is the first to reach the finish space. If that player or team lands on a space that matches their pawn's color, they can jump to any pawn further ahead and play that person or team one-on-one for a chance to knock them backwards.
