From BoardGameGeek

Captain Obvious is a competitive party game in which players are rewarded for being as obvious as possible. Write sentences with a meaning that's so apparent even a missing word won't confuse the other players. Earn the title of Captain Obvious! To play, reveal the round's current word and sentence length. In secret, each player writes a sentence on their board, then passes their board to the next player, who removes one word - other than the current word - from the sentence. In turn, each player reads out their sentence while others try to guess what the missing word is. First come, first serve with whoever guesses the right word!
