Dictionary Game Dictionary

by James Cochrane

Published 5 November 1992
This dictionary, from which the TV programme "Call my Bluff" and the boardgame "Balderdash" are derivatives, has long been popular. Players make up false, but realistic, definitions of a range of words to trick fellow competitors into mistaking the definitions for truthful statements. This is a selection of 4000 of the most obscure words for the game dictionary. The rules of the dictionary game are set out in a preface.
