Quick rules
How to use this sheet
- Print one sheet per player. Before each round, agree on one letter and start a 60-second timer.
- Write one answer in every category for that round. Every answer must begin with the chosen letter.
- When time ends, stop writing and compare answers. Score 2 points for a valid answer no one else used, 1 point for a valid answer shared with another player, and 0 for a blank or invalid answer.
- Use real words. A place may be a city or country. Ignore A, An, and The at the beginning of an answer. The same answer cannot fill two categories in one round.
- Settle doubtful answers together; a quick dictionary check is fine. Record the round points, choose a new letter, and repeat for four rounds.
- Add all four round scores. The highest total wins; tied players share the win.
