Get A HINT Board Game Review

HINT is an entertaining guessing game through hinting via drawing, humming, talking and miming about the word for your teammates to guess. The better you are at hinting the word and your teammates guessing it correctly, the faster your team can advance on the game board. But there is a twist in this game! On each card, there is a forbidden word you are not allowed to guess! So be careful with any wild guessing as your team may lose a point! The teams take turns and the first team to make it to the finish space wins.
