We play a game called "fictionary". Maybe it's similar, but the only things you need are a dictionary and paper/pencil.
One person picks a word from the dictionary, writes the correct definition keeping it hidden. The other players, after hearing the word, write their perceived definition. The "definitions" are read aloud and the players vote on which is the correct definition. Points are awarded accordingly.
Lots of chuckles and laughter ensues because the words chosen are always unusual, the the "made-up" definitions are often hilarious and clever.
