Telestrations, the "laughter-in-a-box" board game, is a must have for game enthusiasts. It combines 'broken telephone' with 'Pictionary' to create the most outrageous results. Each player gets a secret word to draw and after 60 seconds, their sketch book is passed to the player on their left, who must then guess (in words) what the person has drawn.
The books are passed again and players must draw what is written; the process repeats until the reveal of the original word. Try not laughing when "pigeon" turns into "chicken in jail." Don't be embarrassed if you laugh to the point of mania; it's worth it for a board game like this.
