Full disclosure: A review copy of Olé Guacamole was provided by Le Scorpion Masqué.

I've been having really strange on-and-off gaming situations. I had a whole week where I basically only played solo games, another week where I played a bunch of party games, a weekend where I pretty much only played heavy games, a more standard week where I only played two-player games, and then I played MONOPOLY Deal with my sister and her boyfriend and my cousin on Easter. Am I going to do a MONOPOLY Deal review? Not here. But, I mean, if you want one, I'll write it, I guess? I never really know what people want to read about. But in lieu of that, I can write about one of the party games I played. I should probably get back to the roll-and-writes, next I think about it. But again, another review. Let's check out Olé Guacamole, new from Le Scorpion Masqué!

In Olé Guacamole, it's all about words! Words need to be connected, and so you have to, in turn order, come up with a word that's related to the last word said (but hasn't been said before). Too easy, you say? Fine; you only get 12 seconds. No problem, you say? Fine. Every card in the deck has some letters on them. Reveal one each turn; you can't use a word that contains any of the letters that are now face-up. Good luck with that. Will you be able to keep up?
