If you ever had fun with those word fridge magnets back then, Ransom Notes will provide you an instantaneous shot of fond memories. It likewise has what I believe is the most essential quality in a parlor game: no complex guidelines, setup or description needed. Each round begins with an open-ended concern card, like “explain a frightening medical condition.” Gamers get a handful of magnetic word tiles that they then organize into a (generally a little ridiculous) response to that round’s timely. Each “ransom note” can be as fancy (or not) as you desire. You may have the best set of words to craft a possible response however, regularly, you’ll need to get a little imaginative with your response. Often, a word or more is all you require.
In any case, the mix of word tiles, which leans a bit on the PG-13 side however isn’t as foul-mouthed as more “adult” parlor game like Cards Against Humanity, is such that hilarity will probably occur. Formally, each round is expected to have a “winner,” with the video game ending after a fixed variety of rounds are ended up. It’s simply as enjoyable if you forget attempting to keep rating and simply let everybody attempt to come up with the funniest and most random notes they can dream up. — Karissa Bell, Senior Reporter
