Weather, plants, landscape. Plays well at a cottage and on a hike.
A set about nature with the animals left out: trees and flowers, weather and seasons, mountains, rivers and everything visible from a train window. Words everyone knows and almost nobody can describe on the first try.
A cloud sounds like the easiest word in the world. Then try explaining it without saying sky or rain, and it turns out the ordinary things are the hardest to describe. That is why the set catches out a group convinced it has seen everything: there are more failed rounds here than such a simple theme has any right to produce.
Familiar words that land on the first clue. For warming up, for kids and for mixed groups.
