Basic guessing rules
Players attempt to describe concepts from cards, using only the symbols on the board.
Use the green question mark pawn to indicate the main thing being described, and green cubes to convey aspects of that thing. For example, to describe "milk", you could try:
- LIQUID ? + FOOD AND DRINK 🟩 + WHITE 🟩
To describe Vincent Van Gogh:
- MAN ? + ART/PAINT 🟩 + EAR 🟩 + CUT 🟩
You can use the coloured exclamation point pawns and their corresponding cubes to describe other aspects of your concept without your clues getting mixed up. For "Eiffel Tower", you could try:
- BUILDING ? + METAL 🟩
- COUNTRY/FLAG ! + RED 🟥 + WHITE 🟥 + BLUE 🟥
Players here would know that the "red, white and blue" applied to the country or flag, not to the building itself. They'd also know that the thing they were trying to guess was the BUILDING.
The clue-giver can remove pawns and cubes and move them around as much as they like, during their turn.
