The red-screen protection on Donnymid is not done particularly well, as one could make out the words on a previous turn with a small deal of effort. Of course, me and my friends have better things to do than to cheat at board games, but I disgress.
I dare say, overall, that the Donny reissue is your best bet. You can stay faithful to the old giver/receiver rules, there are 6 words but a 30 second sandtimer, plus the easier Winner's Circle common to Donnymid. As a game show purist, these changes would annoy you, but for trying to play the game as much as possible with a group of anybodies, these leniencies make it easier for everybody to stay competitive.
