Game Dictionary, The Penguin (Reference)

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.
