Reverse Charades: Sports Edition is an expansion for Reverse Charades released in 2012 for 6–99 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Scott Porter and Bryce Porter and its main mechanics are Acting.
Reverse Charades: Sports Edition, an expansion pack for Reverse Charades, consists of 220 cards that feature sports-themed words. Game play remains the same as in the base game, with players divided into two teams. On a turn, all but one player on a team give charades-style clues to that one person left out, and that person guesses as many words as possible in sixty seconds. After each player on both teams has had a shot at guessing (and both teams have had the same number of turns), the team with the most words guessed wins.
Reverse Charades: Sports Edition supports 6–99 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Reverse Charades: Sports Edition is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Reverse Charades: Sports Edition for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Reverse Charades: Sports Edition belongs to these categories: Party Game and Expansion for Base-game. Its main mechanics are Acting.
