Description
- This is a vintage 1978 Parker Brothers edition of the word game Punch Line. The game is complete & in gently played condition. The hourglass timer was missing, so I replaced it with another. About the game - from the box - The word game that makes you laugh. The object of the game is to get points for making a word that fills in the blank in a sentence. Similar to the TV game show Match Game, players are all read the same sentence with to fill in the . Each player has a plastic "slide holder" to hold strips of letters, which they manipulate to move the letters to the center column forming a word. The timer is set for 30 seconds. Points are scored for by points for each letter, similar to Scrabble, but also extra points for letters in specific positions, the first word completed, & words over 5 letters. Example in the rules: "It was raining cats & ." One player might have "dogs" while another has "money". My family gives extra points for especially funny answers. The first player to 250 points wins. I have used calculated shipping but if a Medium USPS flat rate box makes more sense, I'll refund the overage. Vintage 1978 Punch Line Game By Parker Brothers - Complete Gently Played Condition
