But the presentation is sophisticated, that was more what I meant.

So what you're suggesting is that just because it LOOKS "sophisticated", it's appealing to the audience? Hosscrap. CS2001 looked plenty sophisticated and blew dog.

What do you do? Roll specially made word dice to come up with the most creative / revolting phrases i've seen on here in recent weeks? Blew Dog? Oy.

Granted, i'm not arguing with the description of CS2001 AT ALL.....

There's a rather neat board game called "Scrutineyes," though I don't know if Chris has his own copy. But that's basically the jist. You roll a dozen cubs with pictures on them, and try to make common phrases with the pictures that come up. So a guy inflating a balloon and a dog would...

Give me nightmares for a week.
Especially if Chris is blowing up the balloon.

No indeed. The only copy I've played is Ree-chards. (Or is it Jesse's? I can't remember.)

At any rate, I've only played it at Willows.

To Travis: I believe you have your board games mixed up. Or Board Game Geek doesn't have that iteration of "Scrutineyes" listed. "Scrutineyes" as I know it had you try to find items in a large picture starting with a certain letter (a'la "Scattergories").

You're right. He's thinking of VisualEyes.

We generally play it more as an activity than a structured game, and we allow linking words in the phrases ('cuz, again, we're not keeping score), so it's fun when someone takes a picture of a fist and a small person and puts it together to form "punch the munchkin".
