🎮 How to Play

  1. Create or Join a Room

    Enter your name, then create a new room or join an existing one. You need 3-8 players to start.

  2. Storytelling Phase

    The storyteller picks a card and gives a clue (word, phrase, or sound). Be creative but not too obvious!

  3. Card Selection

    Other players choose cards from their hand that match the clue.

  4. Voting

    All cards are shuffled. Players vote on which card they think is the storyteller's.

  5. Scoring

    Points are awarded based on votes. The game ends after 6 rounds.

🏆 Scoring Rules

  • If everyone finds the storyteller's card: Storyteller gets 0 points, everyone else gets 2
  • If nobody finds it: Storyteller gets 0 points, everyone else gets 2
  • Otherwise: Storyteller gets 3 points, correct voters get 3 points
  • Bonus: +1 point for each vote your card receives (except storyteller)

💡 Tips

  • 🎨 Be creative with your clues - use emotions, sounds, or abstract concepts
  • 🎯 Good clues are neither too easy nor too hard
  • 🎭 Try to trick others into voting for your card
  • 👥 The game is most fun with 4-6 players
