Competing teams race to make their partners say the target word while avoiding forbidden clues.

Gameplay

On your turn you flip a word card and rapidly describe the target while teammates shout guesses, scoring cards before the timer ends. The pressure is staying fluent and creative without slipping into a taboo word and handing points to the other team.
