Think fast! What word means “wet, soft dirt”? Be the first to say “mud” and you are well on your way to mastering this high-energy family game. Blurt is a word racing game based on Webster’s II Riverside Children’s Dictionary. Providing the correct answer to one of Blurt’s definitions before any of your opponents do earns you the right to move your piece forward on the board. The first player to return to start after circling the board wins the game. A game of Blurt is sure to be loud and spirited, especially with a larger group. The regular rules of play are appropriate for ages 10 and older, and there is a junior version so kids as young as 7 can join in the fun. –Lisa Whipple
Fun with benefits! Great family fun with vocabulary building benefits! My family is large and gets very loud when playing games and this was no exception. A great time for all.
I gave this game an overall rating of 4 only because I found it a bit pricey for a board game.
One note of caution. Do NOT buy from boardgamesforall. Terrible with a capital T vendor. Never received my item or any response to email inquiries. Ratings OK until November, then through the floor through the holidays. Had to buy elsewhere and file a claim for a refund against boardgamesforall. BUYER BEWARE

I play this game with my friends all the time! I think it is really fun because you just “Blurt” out the answer. It’s also cool because you get to learn alot of new things! I just play it over and over and over again! You will get alot of use out of it trust me!

We just got blurt as a christmas present. We played it three times in a row and had a ton of fun, laughing our heads off. However, the game did not come with a lid for the bos of cards, making it harder to put away. I was also wondering why the game comes with 6 colored movers, including purle and orange, when there are only four colors of the boxed on the game board (red, blue, green, and yellow). So if you are playing with 5 or 6 players than they have a deficit because they are not able to land on a color of their mover, inabling them to have the chance to “takeover” another players space. Other than that, my family and I found the game one of the best out of the many we have and play.

My family and I have had this game for 2 years and we still aren’t bored of it! We play it 2 times a week! When playing this game we usually burst out in laughter. This game is also proven to be very eduecational, you learn meanings to new words and phrases. This game is very durable too, we’ve had it for 2 years and the cards and the board are just like new to us! Over all, this game is one of the best and I reccomend this game to ages 7 and older!

I bought this game for my students at a daycare that I supervise,only because it was on clearance at Walmart. Well I showed maybe 5 of the kids how to play and now everyday when they come to the day care they pull the game out and play not knowing that they are learning at the same time. The game teaches differant words and strenghtens their vocabulary. These kids are from 2nd to 5th grade. Sometimes I have to stop the teachers from hogging the game from the kids. It is one of the best games and you don’t have to exclude people once someone else wants to join they just gather on teams and every one gets to play. Sometimes we have a table with about 30 students around it. Great game. Hope they come out with a part 2
