Board Games: CoMotion

CoMotion Reviews

Other Picture

It's said that nothing new is actually invented, just reinvented. The game CoMotion refreshes that party classic, Charades, with cool designs and updated accessories that include a deck of cards and game tokens. Designed for individual players or teams, CoMotion has spaces on its vibrantly colored game board that direct players to act out a noun, a verb, a phrase, or a combination of related words. If you land on an extended-play space, you get extra time. Depending on the roll of the dice, sometimes just one player acts out a word, while at other times, two players simultaneously are grappling with the same word. The real commotion ensues when two players act out different words at the same time. During the acting-out, no talking is allowed. However, old tricks, like tugging on your ear to indicate "sounds like," are permitted. --Lynne Sampson
