About Glom, from BoardGameGeek:
Rewrite the Phrase, while following the Rule, to meet the Goal!
Glom, from the hosts of Nice Games Club, is a fast-paced, quick-witted game of ridiculously reworded remarks. Each round, a common phrase is revealed that players will have to rewrite, according to a random rule, in order to achieve a random goal.
How do you say "Who ate the last cookie?" without using any words over four letters long? How many vowels can you stuff into a brand new version of "Better late than never" without using any double-letters?
A hilarious game that pushes vocabulary to the brink of insanity, with an objective (but unpredictable!) scoring system.
