"Charades is a fun little trivia game that doesn't require any boards, small pieces that children can choke on, or complicated instructions that resemble your new car guide.  This game can be played any time and anywhere with just about any group of people, thanks to its nearly universal trivia appeal, and \"anywhere\" now includes the Web.  A new site called youCharades has turned the game of charades into a Web-based community where users can partake in the guessing aspect of charades or the acting part\u2014or both.  \n\nThere are youCharades actors that have already populated the site with a good amount of trivia for you to  guess, and each correct answer gets you 10 points.  To make things more exciting, there are also challenges and youCharades will also keep track of your winning streaks, in case you'd like additional parameters for topping the leaderboards.  If you'd like to upload your own charades content, you can do so from your computer or directly from your webcam.  \nGiven the focus of youCharades on sometimes impromptu games, the webcam integration is a great feature for the site and its members.  Each user has their own profile, so keeping track of the games they've played, challenges they've taken, and videos they've uploaded is easy.  There's also private messaging and ratings for uploaded content, though there doesn't appear to be any friending or following options for individual users.  \nOne feature I like is the embeddable capabilities of a charades category, which means that anyone can play a game of charades wherever the video is posted across the Web.  Once they've correctly guessed a round (or have given up) they can continue on to the next.  This continual play feature is great for the widget, as it's more engaging than a single round of charades (and that should make it more appealing for advertisement, should youCharades layer that in).  Seeing as youCharades already has webcam integration, I think it may be fun to have live games on the web (similar to the format used by WooMe), once this community gains some traction."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
