Slanguage by FoxMind Board Game Review

Ever wonder how much slang has changed over the past 100 years? Slanguage teaches you all about it in about 30-minutes. This 3-8 players family-friendly party game is designed by April Mitchell and published by FoxMind. Slanguage is all about guessing decades, showing off creativity, and laughing at how wild people’s interpretation of certain slang can get

The Goal:

Give the best description of a slang word based on the category rolled on the die. Earn extra points by guessing which decade the word belongs to. What are the die possibilities?

• Define it – Put the slang word into your own words

• Make it musical – Name a song or band that uses the slang word or phrase

• Draw it – Sketch a symbol or image that shows what it means

• Screen it – Come up with a movie or TV show title that fits

• Use it – Guess the slang word and use it in a sentence

• Sell it – Create a tagline that matches it

How It Works:

Players have 2 minutes to write or draw their answer on their Speech Bubble Sheet. They also write the decade they think the slang word comes from. Answers are then shared and the Judge determines their favorite. The winner of the round scores three points, everyone scores one point if they guessed the decade correctly. The player with the highest total after one or two rounds depending on player count, wins the game!

Who This Game Is For:

Slanguage is for people who love word games, pop culture, and creative chaos. It’s great if you enjoy drawing, writing, or coming up with funny connections under pressure. Linguists, trivia fans, or anyone wanting an excuse to judge their family or friends drawings

Pros

📚 Even though it covers a century of slang, the fact that the judge chooses who wins a round makes it accessible to players of all ages

Considerations

• The rulebook is concise, yet it could be improved

• Best at six or more players

• The two-minute timer can be stressful, especially for overthinkers

Bottom Line:

Slanguage is a fun, fast, and clever party game that brings wordplay, creativity, and a dash of nostalgia to the table. I’m always on the hunt for games that hit with nongamers or casual players who want something light, easy to learn in under five minutes, and still genuinely fun. Slanguage nails that. Whether you’re a linguist, a trivia fan, or just looking for a reason to roast your friends’ drawings, this one delivers laughs without overcomplicating things
