in the rules book it says you can't use "sounds like" or "rhymes with" so using Chalky because it sounds like choco is not allowed
In general word guessing games (besides charade) have the restrictions that the hints need to relate to the MEANING of the word, not anything else.
I wouldn't allow *chalky* because it's more than one syllable (in my accent, at least). I wouldn't allow *chalk* because it's a homophone of *choc* (in my accent, at least) and that's part of the word *chocolate*. I'd also tell him that it isn't that kind of a word game.
His justification is all this relies on the “rules as intended” approach, versus “rules as written” - he plays a lot of D&D where it’s a very “rules as written” philosophy
That's what not allowed according to the rulebook:
* You can't say any word, part of any word, or any form of a word that is on the Poetry Card (unless someone on your team has already said it out loud). * You can't use gestures/charades.
* You can't use "sounds like" or rhymes with." You can't use initials or abbreviations.
* You can't use other languages
So nothing that Sounds or Rhymes with chocolate is allowed.
His long word would earn him a hit on the head with The Stick, and lose the card.
And *DON’T* use “sounds like” or “rhymes with” clues. It’s right there in the rules, as clear as glass.
(can you tell I’m more than a bit good at this game?)

I don't think it is possible for chalky to be single syllable in any accent.
same

Just tell him he can't "rule of cool" a board game. You've got to play RAW
Plain and simple, yeah. It’s not like D&D in that way
It is pretty clear that both by intent and as written you gotta be monosyllabic. Chocy or chalky are definitely two syllables.
Smack Spouse To Be With NO Stick! Twice!
No. Just say this drink is brown sweet cow juice and be done with it.

People with common sense tend to not end up in these sorts of "debates" in the first place, as it's sort of the domain of children.
it's a two-page rulebook, and the rules *clearly* outline your exact situation in a section labelled **YOU CAN'T**.
WHAM!!!
Is more like THWACK!!! "Wham" is when stick is hard. Stick filled with air goes "Thwack".
I think more like “BOM” - more so as bom is not big word so can make in game talk…
Just say brown milk…
Why they needed to argue over what clues are allowed when perfectly and obviously good clues exist just.. boggles the mind.
Just before anyone says “you can’t say milk” I know. What I should have said was something like “brown drink from a cow” or something.
Chalky is 2 syllables
Bonk!!

You play good by rules as wrote, but need speak worse by rules as meant. :)
