Overview
To play this fast-paced, family-friendly word game, grab a pen or pencil and something to write on for every player. Set a timer for 30 seconds (or slightly longer if you prefer) and pull a card. Your challenge is to list as many items as possible that fit the card’s theme and then compare lists when the time is up. Everyone gets one point per item listed, but an answer only counts if no one else has it. Whoever writes the most unique responses wins the round!
Categories may include such topics as:
- Things that are purple
- Oscar-winning movies
- Animals we keep as pets
- Ice cream flavors
Players can also enjoy a solo version where they play against the deck with the help of upside-down sample answers on each card, such as 1. grapes, eggplants, Barney; 2. Titanic, The Godfather, Barbie; 3. Cats, dogs, goldfish; 4. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry.
