Stinker (available locally at most Barnes & Noble stores, as well as Amazon) is sort of a cross between Bananagrams and Apples to Apples (the dirtier playtesters call it Bananagrams Against Humanity – the game is as dirty as you are). I’ve been inventing both word games and party games for years but most aren’t special enough to share. This one is, or anyway it makes drinks exit through playtesters’ noses.

I designed it for my wife’s birthday because she loves wordplay, especially anagramming. “Stinker” is an anagram of her name (Kristen), but it also describes the daffy anagrammed responses created during play. I wrote a popular BGG designer diary about it, which tells you everything you need to know.
