Big Potato Obama Llama 2: The Family Board Game with the Strange-Sounding Name

Product Information

If you are tired of charades and want to jazz it up a bit, then this would be the ideal choice! You can not only describe the rhymes but you will also have acting cards where your quality mimes will be the key to your team’s success. Be warned though, as the 30 seconds you have to act out the three rhymes will fly by! Should you Buy it? This sized-down edition is a great game to take away on holiday with you and gets all the great things about the original into a tiny box. Obama Llama 2 is a reprint of the successful party game Obama Llama, adding in a mixture of funny characters and creatures like Severus Snape and a Tyrannosaurus Rex. The original was just about famous people. As such, this version works a little better with families. Not that you need to know who the person is, but it does help to ease peoples concerns. That person now has to silently act out the three rhymes on the other side of the card in 30 seconds, with their teammates shouting out possible rhymes.

The game ends when all of the Rhyming Pair cards have been paired up. The team with the most are crowned champions and have permission to arrange an open-top bus parade in their home town. One member of the team draws a yellow card and shows the celebrity name on the card to their teammates. I love Obama Llama!! It’s quirky, it’s weird and it gets non-board gaming folk to the table! Everyone I have played this with enjoys it. The second iteration of this game does exactly the same, with some great new rhymes that mix the game up a bit and keep people entertained. The fast-paced gameplay means no one is going to get bored and it is sure to keep you entertained for hours! The game also comes with everything you need to play, so you won’t find yourself rooting around for a pencil to keep score!

Pass

So, whether it’s George Clooney pulling a mooney, King Kong playing ping pong or Michael Cane suffering a migraine, it is up to you to make sure your team know exactly what rhyme you’re trying to describe or act out. What are you waiting for!? Grab your teammates and go forth and rhyme!

Note that this particular model is a completion model, so the prompts you send it need to be designed to produce good results if used as the first part of a sentence. Open questions and potential improvementsFirst, split into two teams of two or more. Then shuffle the Rhyming Pair cards and deal them out face down in the middle of the table, like this: The describers have to try and make their team say what is said on the card as best they can by detailing what is going on without using the words written on the card. “A famous UK comedy duo, big in the 80s, famous for a sketch about fork handles, well one of them is now flying in space,” for example. Solve it works similarly to this, but you are given the description on the card as well as the answer. Describe it cards put a character such as Ronnie Corbett, Michael Jordon or the Pied Piper in a situation where they are all doing something that conveniently rhymes with their surname. Corbett in Orbit, Jordan is a prison warden and The Pied Piper is feeling hyper, for example. I only just got this working—there’s a lot of room for improvement. I would welcome contributions that explore any of the following areas:
