Description

According to the game designers, the definitions for Anomia are: 1) A problem with word finding or recall. 2) Chaos. 3) The game where common knowledge becomes uncommonly fun!

After playing Anomia a number of times, I think you could add to those definitions, 4) The party game where people jump out of their chairs, point frantically, stutter in loud outbursts, and experience brain-freeze.

Thats because we have yet to play a game of Anomia (with various groups of people) where players could remain seated the whole game. The frantic nature of trying to shout out a word that fits the needed category inevitably leads to players jumping out of their chairs in an unconscious effort to kick their brains into gear.
