My partner and I love this game. It makes one stretch beyond the usual word meanings, often involving slang. I suppose this is a challenge for folks whose first language is not English. One needs a good working knowledge of English, and cultural implications of many of the words used.. I was born in the 1950's so some of words, and implied references, are right up baby-boomer alley. On the other hand, the younger pop culture insider-words are not as firmly planted in my mind, so I don't always "get "all the connections. I'm totally fine if I don't make all the color connections (though often I do) . Whether I "win" at this or not, is not important. What is important is to feel the synapses in my brain move about, and know that this feels GOOD for my brain.
