Strategies:

Consider where the other players are from (different continents). Skipping if you are unsure uses up 1 card, however guessing incorrectly uses 2.

There are 4 types of good clues:

  1. Synonyms
  2. Reference
  3. Creative, unusual usage or reference
  4. Phrases that end with the target word (but not necessarily ones that begin with it)

Some clues are there to disambiguate use them wisely.

Less common clues are:

  1. Related words (not the best clues)
  2. Meta-word telling what type of word the mystery word is.

When trying to guess one can identify the category and try to guess like that.
