Are You Phrazy… Holiday Edition!

I’ve already told you about the original Are You Phrazy, but what about the holiday version? Are You Phrazy? Carols Edition

If you didn’t read the previous post, and you don’t want to do so now, let me summarize: Are You Phrazy is a speed word game, where on your turn you play one of the cards in your hand, unless somebody else can match the previous card played, in which case if they say theirs before you say yours than play goes to the person directly after them. The goal is to be the first person without any cards left.

The holiday edition of Are You Phrazy is pretty much the same as the original, except for the messages on the cards. All of the messages are direct quotes from Christmas songs, like “Pa rum pum pum pum” and “You would even say it glows.”

After playing this version of Are You Phrazy, we revisited the original, and I determined that I preferred this one. I found the original to be less amusing than the holiday version, and also slightly ruder (You’ll never find a “Talk to the hand” or “Can the chatter” card in the holiday deck, because you’d never find either of those in a Christmas carol).

Also, a lot of the original Are You Phrazy lines are quotes from 80’s and 90’s TV shows, so I didn’t understand the humor involved.
