How to play
Begin with easy animals and actions, read each card privately to the actor, and allow one no-penalty pass. Move into titles and characters only after the group has found its rhythm.
Starting with animals and actions means no one gets stuck on a title they can't read before the game has even started.
Timer and team scores
8 turns × 60 seconds = 8 minutes of play, plus instructions and breaks.
60
Pause whenever the group needs more time.
