I played a game at a gathering ("party" would be pushing it) and want
to buy it. But I don't know what it is. But I can describe it.
Barely.
--) It's similar to Taboo, in that you try to get your team to say a
word but you can't give certain clues.
--) A plastic thing that holds a cardboard disc (contain clues and
answers) is passed around the circle.
--) The group is divided into two teams who sit in alternation around
the circle: A-B-A-B-A-B.
--) If I remember correctly, it was marketed by a familiar game company.
--) There was a race-against-the-clock aspect (of course).
Thanks for trying to read my mind. :-D
Please also see my other related question.Hello.
I believe that you're thinking of "Catch Phrase" (from Parker Brothers/Hasbro).
See this description on eBay:
"Very fun game; plays like TABOO; Get your teammates to guess the word
or phrase, but you can say ANYTHING! There's a 'Hot Potato timer, and
whoever's turn it is when the timer goes off loses! LOTS OF FUN. For 4
or more adult players or teams."
See a picture including the plastic thing and cardboard discs at eBay:

The game may be purchased new for $17.99 from Target:
