{"product_id":"portmanteau","title":"Portmanteau","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMash up words, invent hilarious new definitions, and convince your friends that your ridiculous new vocabulary belongs in the dictionary in a clever party game of linguistic gymnastics.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortmanteau is a fast-paced, creative party game that celebrates the art of combining two completely different words to create an entirely new one (just like \"brunch\" or \"spork\"). Moving away from rigid trivia checks and heavy strategic planning, this title focuses on spontaneous creativity, quick-witted wordplay, and subjective judging. The primary gameplay objective centers on score accumulation: players combine prompt cards or disparate concepts to invent the funniest, most clever, or most absurd portmanteau, complete with a convincing definition, to win over the active judge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary mechanical hurdle revolves around thinking on your feet and pitching your creation effectively under social pressure. Each round, players must quickly merge word fragments—balancing phonetic flow with comedic value—and present their new term to the group. Designed for 3 or more players, a typical session plays out in energetic 20-to-30 minute rounds of laughter, debate, and ridiculous vocabulary building. To claim victory, you must read the room, cater to the judge's specific sense of humor, and deliver your new word with the absolute confidence of a seasoned linguist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGame Specs at a Glance:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAge Range: 12+ Years\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: Independent\u003cbr\u003ePlay Time: 20-30 Minutes\u003cbr\u003ePlayer Count: 3+ Players\u003cbr\u003eComplexity: Light (Party Game, Storytelling)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's in the Box?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWord and Prompt Cards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry Erase Boards and Markers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Rulebook\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gnome Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52769976910111,"sku":"DHL PMT-001","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/9080\/5791\/files\/portmanteau-card-game-box-display.jpg?v=1786561990","url":"https:\/\/gnomegames.com\/products\/portmanteau","provider":"Gnome Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
