How to play
Keep the action, occupation, sport, and everyday cards mixed. Award the point only when the team reaches the complete idea, not when it guesses one visible object from the scene.
That scoring rule avoids flattening specific prompts into the same few guesses such as cooking, cleaning, or playing sport.
Plan the round and team scores
8 turns × 60 seconds = 8 minutes of play, plus instructions and breaks.
60
Pause whenever the group needs more time.
