This game is a little more extensive than the other one and has English labels, making it less ambiguous. The clues actually have el or la, definite articles, rather than the word "mi" so that you can see the gender of the word. Please see comment below for photo credits.

I can't believe I made a mistake with the English translations... it should read "they all toasted TO his good luck", not FOR his good luck.

Tienes razón, confundí creí un pretérito; buen ejemplo. Sí es asi quedaría mejor con una palabra antes pero no es adecuado, mi suicidio esta próximo siguiente prueba .·

Comment given by PETO
Debe ser la palabra "(yo) echo" (presente) en vez de "(ella) echó" (pretérito) para sonar igualito a la palabra "hecho".

Agradable, solo le faltó el acento en el verbo pasado "echo" tiró, lanzó. ^^
