In this super-simple party game, your job is to tune into the way your partner thinks. The main mission: get them to guess the word that's nesting in your head. To do this, you'll need to write down three words that'll lead them straight to the correct answer. Sounds simple enough, but wait - there's a catch. If the other teams guess any of your three words, they'll swoop down and steal your points.
Make the words too obvious and you'll make it too easy for the other team. However, make them too obscure, and your bird-brained partner might not have a clue what you're squawking about!

Now, I'm going to be honest and say that it wasn't the gameplay or the publisher that drew any of us to this game. No. It was the fact that my mum came across it by accident, while we were browsing a board game shop in Wellington, and it is an owl on the cover, with little owl meeples. That's all... the owls... That being said, the kids love it. Usually there are five of us playing, my mum teamed up with the 13 and 15 year olds and me with my 12 year old. On your teams turn, you roll the dice to discover which of the three words you need your team to guess. You then write three words but your opponents do as well.
The kids really enjoyed this aspect, trying to come up with words that your team will guess but that the other team won't have written down either. If your team gets it right, you get to move your little owl by two points, plus one for each word that the other team did not write down, the other team gets a point per matching word. If you get it wrong, then the other team moves two points, plus one for each word that matched yours. With three words on each card, you have 300 unique words, which means plenty of replayability, especially if you factor in that different people write different things. It's also interesting to see who thinks most like you and makes similar choices. A fun little game that we're happy to add to the collection.

To earn your living as an artist - that would really be something. But what can you do if you're not creative?
In Final Touch, players hire themselves out as art forgers willing to copy the masterworks of great artists, with all of them competing to create - or rather, re-create - the same image.
