This is a simple take on the classic game Absolute Balderdash, but with a Middle-earth spin on it. For those of you who haven't played the game before, it's easy and fun and you are rewarded for creating utter nonsense.
Each round I will provide three words. They may be things, people, places, or initials. It is your job to provide a clever or funny description of those words, giving them a new meaning or description. Since this is the Shire edition, your meanings or descriptions must relate to hobbits or the Shire.
Example entry - Mothball: A sport created by hobbits in which a large number of moths are gathered and clumped together to create balls of various sizes, which are then thrown at an opponent's net. The loser of the game is the one with the most moths stuck in their net when time is called. This is a popular game in the Shire as there is not much that annoys a hobbit more than having moths in their cupboards ruining their fine garments.
Once each round is complete, players will post their votes on their favourite entry for each word. As tempting as it may be (since you are so creative and clever), you may not vote for your own entries. Spectators may also vote. The winner once all rounds are completed is the player who has received the most votes.
- Join the game by posting your entries for the first round words
