"Yesterday's News" is a co-operative party game where players create headlines for fictional tabloid news articles. Each player is given a set of words and must use them to form the funniest and most fitting headline for a news story. The headlines are then voted on by the group, and the one with the most votes gets printed. Players earn points not only for the most popular headlines but also for contributing individual words that others use in their headlines.
