Quick! Can you get your teammate(s) to guess "Coca-Cola" without using those words? How many words can you describe (without saying!) before the 60-second sand timer runs out? Two or more teams race to be the first to the center of the board. The board features a spiral path with a number (1-8) on each space. The number that your playing piece occupies determines which clues you will describe. For example, your play piece is on a number "4' circle; you will pick up a stack of cards and define the word listed by the #4. Once that word is guessed you will move to the next card, and so on. Move forward as many spaces as the words your teammates guess correctly. If you skip words or accidentally say part of the word, you must move backwards those spaces! Words must be guessed exactly and may be nouns, adjectives, verbs, etc., of varying difficulty. Sounds easy enough, but when the timer is turned over, the pressure is on! 4+ players; 60 minutes. 400 clue cards included with 8 words per card for a total of 3200 words.
