Components
- 150 letter cards / words
- You will need a 30 second timer (your phone!)
Each card shows a consonant on its letter side, and on its word side six numbered secret words (1-6), each printed in Spanish, Catalan and English (for example: 1 SHOOT, 2 AQUARIUM, 3 CHAIN, 4 UGLY, 5 GEL, 6 KILOMETER).
Set Up
Shuffle the cards, form a deck and place it in the center of the table so that the letter side of the first card is visible. Deal one card from the deck to each person. No one can reveal the contents of their card!
Form the 2 teams based on how people are seated around the table. Each team should have the same number of members and they should be seated alternately. If necessary, two members from a team will sit next to each other.
How to Play
A random player of a random team, or of the team with more players, takes the 1st turn. To take a turn:
- Activate the 30 second timer.
- Discard the top card of the deck, until a new consonant is shown. Ignore this step on the first turn.
- The person in turn reads aloud the topmost word of their secret card that their team hasn't guessed yet, replacing all the consonants in that word with the letter that appears on the top card of the deck.
Example: with the letter F showing, HIPPOPOTAMUS is read aloud as "Fiffofofamus!", and FUTURE (FUTURO) as "Fiffofofafuf!".
ATTENTION: You can only use the consonant indicated. If you make a mistake, you lose your turn, passing it to the person to your left.
Once they have read the word aloud, they keep reading it while gesturing with their body, with the goal of getting their team mates to guess the secret word.
If they guess the secret word and there is still time left, the person in turn proceeds to read the next secret word from their card, again changing all the consonants to the same letter that appears on the top card of the deck.
If their team guesses all the words or time runs out, the turn ends and passes to the person to their left.
If someone gets their team to guess all the words on their card, they will not take a turn again in this game.
End of the Game
The game ends when a team manages to guess all the secret words that appear on all their cards. The opposing team has one turn to draw the game as long as they didn't take the 1st turn of the game.
