We often see games described as party games that are really quite unsuited to parties. Case in point, Codenames (CGE): it's a great team game but it's a stretch to call it a 'party game'. Would you really break it out to play at a party? There are no such qualms over the party game descriptor for Incohearent. This really is a game you'd bring out at parties.
Incohearent is designed by Elliot Tebele and published by What Do You Meme? The idea is simple enough: there are cards - 400 in the box shown here on Board's Eye View - and each has printed on it a series of words that seem to be gibberish, or at best a What3Words address. A player has to read out the words and they and the other players try to work out what phrase, saying or well-known personality it represents. So, for example, 'trunk eggs stink' with repetition becomes 'drunk texting'. And, incidentally, What3Words places it near Paradise Hills in New Mexico.
Most of the gibberish phrases on the cards are longer and will require more repetition and reworking of the emphases of the syllables in order to decode. So, for example, 'crop took her rinse see' becomes 'cryptocurrency' and 'reese eat ink air lion' becomes 'receding hairline'. Some phrases tho' are fairly obscure or are perhaps only generationally familiar, and in our plays at Board's Eye View we failed to get them even after being given the clue on the back of the card that's available to be read out by the player designated for the round as the judge.
Even with some phrases still thought by some players to be gibberish after they know the answer, Incohearent can be great fun. It's the sort of game that plays especially well with a crowd that's already well-oiled with alcohol. Be warned tho' that some of the references on the cards are strictly NSFW (Not Safe For Work). The cards are divided into categories labelled 'party' 'pop culture' and 'kinky' but it's not just the 'kinky' cards that are capable of giving offence. To be fair, What Do You Meme? have clearly labelled Incohearent as an adult ('17+') game which you might take as a warning that your HR Dept. might take a dim view of it being played unexpurgated at the office party. If you're prepared to take the time and trouble tho' of filleting the 400 card deck to take out all the cards that might potentially cause offence, this is a party game that you could then play with children and all the family at Christmas.
