Game rules
Goal of the game
Two teams compete to get as many cards as possible guessed (celebrities, characters, objects…) over 3 rounds, always with the same deck of 40 cards.
Turns
Each turn lasts 30 seconds. The teams take turns, and within each team the players take turns giving the clues: the app shows who. Each card guessed scores 1 point.
Round 1: Description
Describe the card with as many words as you like, without saying its name or a word from the same family. Skipping a card is not allowed.
Round 2: One Word
A single word to get it guessed, and your team only gets one guess. You may skip a card: it will come back later.
Round 3: Mime
No more words: mime and make sound effects. You may skip a card.
End of the Game
After the 3 rounds, the team with the most points wins. A mistake? The back button undoes the last card of the turn.
Custom game (Premium)
Create your own card decks (20 words minimum): celebrities, your group's memories, objects… The game is played with your words, and the deck is kept for next time.
