Aimed at children, this is a game reminiscent of Taboo, where you must describe an object on the card but without using certain key words. For instance, it might say 'Balloon' and you cannot use the words 'pop’, ‘inflate’, ‘bang’ or ‘float’? The subjects are graded so that different age groups can play. The cards are dispensed from a yellow plastic head...
Tisbyis a word game, sort of a cross between Scrabble, Alfred's Other Game, and Boggle, with luck removed. Each player has their own set of tiles. A group of letters are randomly determined (by dice rolling versus a table) and each player starts with the same letters. Each player has their own 7x7 grid and a player screen to hide their boards from others...

Everyone gets a board with 25 spaces, one for every letter, except for X and Y which get squashed together.

You don't even need to keep the box. The category cards fit nicely into a compartment on the back of the game. And everything else is integrated into the device. It is...
