Remember the days when you stayed in to play a board game. Remember when you were a kid and enjoyed Monopoly and Candyland? Today, society is all about technology moving as fast as the internet. However, in the midst of all of this, I found a way to slow down and stay in. The best part is, it only has two words: Mad Gab.
Mad Gab is actually a card game. There is a set of cards and each card has two sides. One side is orange and one side is blue. According to Mad Gab, the orange side is harder. The name of the game is simple: say what you hear not what you see. For example: the blue side of my card says: “Since Henna Tea Ojai Owe”. Although it looks like jibberish, once your teammate says it a few times fast, you will eventually guess that it “translates” into “Cincinnati, Ohio”. Similarly, the title of this article is “Doesn’t Make Any Sense To Me”. While there is a point system and timer for the game, I chose not to use it to create a more fun and relaxed atmosphere. And let’s be honest, it can take a long time to de-code some of these!
My favorite thing about this game is that it is a game that can be played by anyone of the age of ten or older and by anywhere from two to twelve people! It is a fun games that can be played by teens and especially young adults. It will make you laugh so hard that you cry. It is a great way to entertain you and your friends for hours at a time! This game never gets old and will make you laugh until you cannot laugh anymore! Remember, in Mad Gab, “It’s not what you SAY, It’s What You HEAR!”.
