Troubleshooting

Difficulty understanding a prompt

Read the prompt aloud clearly. If the meaning is still ambiguous, players can briefly discuss interpretations before ranking, but avoid over-explaining to maintain game flow.

Disagreement over rankings

This is part of the fun! Players should explain their reasoning, but ultimately, the recorded ranking stands. The goal is discussion and laughter, not perfect consensus.

Game feels slow

Ensure players are familiar with the rules. Encourage quicker decision-making for ranking. If a specific question consistently slows the game, consider setting it aside for future rounds.

Lost cards

If a Question Card is lost, it cannot be replaced. The game can still be played with the remaining cards, though replayability might be slightly reduced.
