dingbats

     

Dingbats is the name of a boar game that was devised by Paul Sellers and is currently manufactured by Ravensburger. The game, for two or more people, involves solving rebuses (puzzles in which a common word or saying is hidden in a cryptic or otherwise unique arrangement of symbols). In this it is very similar to the UK/US game show Catch Phrase, although Dingbats's puzzles are generally considerably tougher, and rely far less on non-text graphics.
