Playing the game
When the timer begins, players write down words that match the categories on their board and start with the board’s letter. For example, if the letter is “L” and the category is “Type of Flower,” a valid answer could be “Lily.”
Players aim for unique answers that others won’t duplicate.
At the end of the round, compare answers. Unique answers earn one point, while duplicated answers score zero.
Continue for as many rounds as there are boards. The player with the highest total score after all rounds wins!
