Compound Word Definition:

The joining of two or more words to form a new word with a new meaning.

​​

  1. The 1st dealer is the player with the longest pinky. They receive the pinky card and the nickname "pinky" for the rest of the game, or life. Pinky card = 1 point. In the event of a tie, thumb wrestle for the win.
     

  2. Each player draws 5 cards and replenishes before each new round. Player cards display a smug looking chicken. So smug.
     

  3. The dealer draws a card from the deck and places it face up for all players to see - this is the 2nd word in the compound word.
     

  4. Each player chooses their best card to the be the 1st word in the compound word and thinks of a funny/witty definition for the new compound word. Once the card is chosen, it's handed face down to the dealer.
     

  5. The dealer shuffles all player cards and one by one reads off each newly formed compound word, stopping after each word to hear the new definition by the player whose card formed the word.
     

    For example: 
    If the dealer's card is COWBOY, and the player's card is BINGO... the new compound word is BINGO-COWBOY.
     

  6. After all players present their definition, the dealer chooses the winner and that player wins the dealer card, worth 1 point.
     

  7. The dealer rotates cluckwise.
     

  8. The game officially ends when one player has 7 dealer cards or 7 points. It could also end when the current winner says they're going to the bathroom but really goes downstairs to watch TV.
     

  9. Party Fowl cards are dealer cards that provide instructions to change up game play for that round.
     

  10. Ages 17+
     

  11. Best played with 4-8+ players
     

  12. Estimated game time between 60 minutes and 6 years
