Can you give the perfect clue before anyone else? What Were You Thinking? is a guessing game for horrible mind readers, and it's as fun to watch as it is to play.

Break into two teams. Shuffle the Letter Tiles and place them on The Board until it’s full. Pick one person from each team to be the Guesser. It’s your team’s job to get your Guesser to say the word from the Word Card by giving them a two word clue that starts with letters from The Board. For example, if your word is “Penguin,” your team might decide to give “Snow Bird” as a clue. But hurry, because if the other team yells out a clue first, their Guesser can guess before yours. If they get it right, that team gets to flip over the letters they used for a clue (Ex. if the winning clue is “waddling tuxedo,” they’d flip over “w” and “t”.) The team that flips 5 letters in a row wins.

This family board game makes you flex your creativity to think up unique (or outrageous) clues. But it's also an easy-to-learn and simple-to-play strategy game that's different every time you play.

Alexander ★★★★★

Playing with just two teams made game night way more chaotic than I expected, especially once the clue-giving timer pressure kicked in. Watching people freeze up trying to guess what their own teammate was thinking is honestly the best part.

Elizabeth D. ★★★★★

The team-versus-team format got everyone yelling over each other within five minutes, which is exactly what I wanted from a party game. Shuffling the cards and racing to match answers kept the energy high even for the people who claimed they were bad at guessing.

Harper ★★★★★

We played this last weekend and the guessing rounds got so loud the neighbors probably heard us. The two-team format is perfect for parties, and watching people stumble through terrible clues is half the entertainment.
