Big Red Tomato

Each player choses a name including an adjective and a fruit or vegetable. They then "radio" each other without showing their teeth until someone slips up.

How To Play

  • Step 1.

    One player is nominated "Big Red Tomato". All other players choose and announce their name consisting of an adjective and a vegetable, e.g. Luscious Lettuce, Barmy Banana. Once the game begins, players must never show their teeth.

  • Step 2.

    Big Red Tomato starts the game by saying "Big Red Tomato calling Luscious Lettuce, Big Red Tomato calling Luscious Lettuce". Luscious Lettuce responds "Luscious Lettuce receiving".

  • Step 3.

    Luscious lettuce then "radios" any other player.

  • Step 4.

    The twist to the game is that players must not show their teeth at any time. To do so results in their elimination.

    The last player to avoid showing their teeth is the winner.
