Answer: Parcheesi

An average golf score would be PAR and a plain pizza would be CHEESY. (PAR+CHEESY) = Parcheesi / Pachisi

Parcheesi is a board game played with two to four players. Each player is given four game pieces which are placed in one of four "home" areas. Each player rolls two dice and must get all their pieces around the board counter clockwise and eventually into the center of the game board. If an opponent's piece lands on top of yours, then that piece is sent back "home". The game was adapted from the game Pachisi, which originated in India.

Trouble was introduced by Milton Bradley in 1965. It plays very similarly to Parcheesi. Each player gets four colored pieces. Each piece must circle around the board counter clockwise and line up in the center column at the end of the game. Trouble is unique in that it places a single die underneath a plastic bubble dubbed the "Pop-O-Matic".

In the game, 16 six-sided dice with letters on them are placed inside a transparent box in a 4x4 configuration. The box is then shaken which will change the letters available to the players.

A synonym for the word terrible is BAD, most toothpastes have a MINT flavor and not off would be ON. (BAD+MINT+ON) = Badminton.

Badminton is a sport similar to tennis. However, instead of using a ball, players hit a cone-shaped projectile called a shuttlecock. It is believed that the game of badminton as we know it was developed in India during the mid-1800's. It is unclear though if the game was developed by Indian locals or by British troops who had occupied the region during this time. The game was named after the Badminton House, the residence of the Duke of Beaufort in Gloucestershire, England.
