 Bernie DeKoven's FunLog: Catch Phrase
The game itself is readily understood because it is in fact a combination of hot potato and password.
Because your team is working together to guess (yes, this is one of those more-the-merrier games that could easily accommodate twenty or even more players), there's a wonderful sense of teamwork that transcends individual performance, again making the game even more fun.
And there are so many words and phrases, and it's all so elegantly designed that you don't need to come up with variations to keep it fun, but, if you want to, there's nothing stopping you.

Set the timer on the discus-like game unit, and the clue-giving countdown begins; if a team's guess matches the response on the game's readout, pass the unit to the opponents.
Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to reset the game- if you end in the middle of a game, it'll pick up in that game the next time you play, whether you want to or not.
The premise of the game is simple: After setting the timer, your team has to guess what word or phrase is visible on the screen.

The words themselves are simple, often trivial— the game is not intended to be a mental challenge.
