Best game ever - I allow adults to have at least one pass if they pick out a card and just can't describe the word that's on there (they can put that card aside and try the next card, if they find that one equally difficult then they can either swap it for the other one they had rejected or they just have to go for it and do their best to describe it) With kids - I let them reject 3 or 4 cards but at the end of their turn, look at what they rejected and briefly talk about ways they could have possibly describe the words
An excellent introduction and summary. I'm heading out this evening to play a round of 'Articulate' at the house of some friends. I had never heard of it before and had been a little apprehensive - but now I'm really looking forward to it. Many thanks indeed.
It's our favourite game in our house. When our kids were young, we used the kids cards for them, and the adults used the original ones. Now they are 15 and 18 and play the adult cards. They play really well, and it's always the game they pick on game nights.
So what happens when the challenge space is won. How do you proceed? Do you move any spaces? Does the current team get another turn if they win it? If the team that is not their turn wins, do they move? How many spaces? How is that decided? You only drew one card, so do you only move one space out of the challenge space? Or do you juat continue reading challenge space cards?
They should bring out booster packs for different age groups so if you're playing with your kids, you draw from the pack suited to their age group. That would make it better & more fun for the whole family :-)
I have to adapt this game for a university project with molecular cell biology topics instead, without having played the game myself. Why this game? Because it's a group project and someone else convinced everyone to do this even though I had come up with other ideas. Noone is doing anything though and I don't want to fail, so I've resorted to doing it myself. My point? Thank you for this explanation on how this freaking game is played. I wouldn't be able to do this project without you and sorry for the rant. PS. I think I might use the spinner for whenever a team has landed on the spade tile.
If your own team player gets the answer on a white space - how do you proceed with your extra turn? Do you move forward one space then run through reading cards from that category (trying to answer as many as possible as per your usual turn)?
On the white / spade spaces. If your team is the team describing and your team guesses it. Then you basically take your actual turn (using the timer again) guessing the ones with the spade in them on the card. And like normal, move the amount of spaces for the cards you get correct. If the opposing team guesses when your team is describing, they have basically stopped you moving for that turn and it becomes their turn. But even if the opposing team stops you initially. When it's your turn again you take your go as normal, guess all the ones with the spades using the timer as normal. Does that make sense?
When you land on red/yellow and move people back/yourself forward do you then go ahead with articulating the red/yellow categories as well? It says in the rules "On the next turn the ACTION or RANDOM entries are used as appropriate"... I don't get what this means
Thats a good question. I have a question about the black and white spade card...if you answer it correctly do you move one space, or do you move to the colour of that spade question?
This was very good for my research. We have speeches coming up and I'm doing mine on why I don't like articulate, I personally don't like the game. Thank you for the review haha.

Ive just bought it but please advise how many guesses and moves a team can make on a control card....is it just one?
Crikey my family completely disregards it and skips through however many we can 😂

Thanks for this. The instructions are tricky to understand so I appreciate you explaining the how this game works.👍

I just seen it on TV, I thought it was new this Christmas, 😅😅😅

great review I will adapt it for my English students!

Is this the best game for a family
Excellent presentation thank you

This is my question aswell. Did you find an answer? I wondered if you are only alliwed to answer once and then move to the colour of that question...
@@sj460162 I’m afraid I still don’t know. I got no response
@@MsDamosmum ok
On the white / spade spaces.
If your team is the team describing and your team guesses it. Then you basically take your actual turn (using the timer again) guessing the ones with the spade in them on the card. And like normal, move the amount of spaces for the cards you get correct.

Does that make sense?
@@sj460162 not sure if that helps or not
So what if you run out of time without getting the answer!?
Have you played Taboo? Do a review for that please! which one would you like better :)
The gameplay sounds the same..
Thanks zilly 🙏🏽 what a lovely game 😝
Good Explanation!
Couple shots of Tequila and articulate best time ever
To finish the game, do you do an all play for the nature/green category? Or is it a spade all play?
Thanks a bunch ;-)
Great review. Im glad I bought this game now! Please explain how many guesses you're allowed on a control card?
Unlimited.
This seems almost exactly like "Taboo" or "Password"
When you land on red/yellow and move people back/yourself forward do you then go ahead with articulating the red/yellow categories as well? It says in the rules "On the next turn the ACTION or RANDOM entries are used as appropriate"... I don't get what this means

Anyone know that the best storage ideas are if the main box is broken?
Haha yeah that's so true. When a game is too long and people are leaving at 11 at night. Happens all the time.
Looks like an interpretation of Taboo.
Thanks very much
S thank u for ur help
thanku really helpful.
I don't like the spin, idea, I think like you,😊
Great game!!
My head hurts
that whole spinner thing is awful
You have wasted 12 minutes of my life.
Don't worry, they weren't valuable.
This was very good for my research. We have speeches coming up and I'm doing mine on why I don't like articulate, I personally don't like the game. Thank you for the review haha.
Update- I got top marks :)
@@Syc_Fukk11 you got top marks for articulating why you don't like articulate? Sounds like you'd make an awesome player. :p
@@kvmftOriginal03 i sure did hahaha, over a year ago but went v well thanq :3
