Fictionary (1989)

Fictionary can be played by one or more players. Each round, the word-giver chooses a word -- from the file, or by entering a new one. This player sees the actual definition, then enters a paraphrase. The others see only the word and make up their own definitions. All players then vote for the definition they think correct. Points are awarded for guessing the correct definition and for fooling others into voting for a false definition.

When played by one person, the game becomes a vocabulary guessing game. Teachers or parents can create custom wordsets using the Fictionary utility program that comes with the registered version.
