From BoardGameGeek
A creative party game for making hilariously terrible sentences. Players respond to outlandish situations like "Tell someone you've clogged their toilet at a party" with just their limited pool of word magnets, leaving even master wordsmiths no choice but to create awesomely horrendous phrases. With hundreds of word magnets included, every round is always fresh, wildly creative, and tears-streaming-down-your-face funny. Each round, a prompt card is randomly drawn from the deck and players try to come up with the best answer from their pool of magnets. A judge is randomly chosen from the players, who reviews the answers and chooses a winner, who scores 1 point. The game ends after one player has scored 5 points. Players can also choose to take turns being the judge each round.
