it is of course, okay for you to criticize anybody you wish. Isn't it okay for me to voice a different opinion?

OH! My family used to play "The Dictionary Game" every single Thanksgiving, which I found out years later is basically Balderdash except you have to look up your own weird words instead of having a deck of cards to draw good ones from. I loved that game.

Sure. Whenever you actually have one. Meanwhile, do you have to pay rental for using other people's?

I picked up a webster's 1859 dictionary at a tag sale it was awesome for Fictionary, There were so many old, odd words that were no longer used and a lot of common words had completely different meanings. I am sorry I gave it away.

Hmm, apparently I'm not the only Brit in the US who remembers Shipping

(I searched my email and found a reply from my dad about the game with enough details to google this....)

The game on Ebay they link to, though, is an American version called "Ship Ahoy". There is a game called Shipping, same year, same idea.....
