What makes a good imposter word?
The best imposter game words are things everyone in the group knows, that can be described from lots of different angles. “Pizza” works because people can say cheese, Italy, slice, delivery or Friday. Very specific words make it too easy for the crew, and very obscure words make clues impossible. Start with Easy Words, then work up to Hard Mode once your group gets good at bluffing.
