The Idiom Game

Game ID: GID0335272
Collection Status
Description

This game is base on the complexities of the English Language. Understanding not just the language, but all of the "Idiomatic Expressions" that go along with it. One example would be this:

Yellow meaning Card
What does "built a fire under" mean in this sentence?
The captain "built a fire under" his troops.
a. corrected
b. stirred them to action
c. threatened

The answer is "b" of course!

The game is then played in a similar fashion as Trivial Pursuit. You roll the die, then move the number of spaces on the board. Land on specific colors to match the 4 game question cards. A player continues as long as they answer the question correctly.

The winner is the player that has collected a card from each category (color card) and land on the center (end) space with an exact roll. And then must answer the final question by picking the color card of choice.
