• The judge has the final say.

• You must not use any taboo words or the key words.

Step 5 - Playing• One member of your team will now act

as judge. • The judge carefully takes the slips to

another team.• One member of the other team will see

the slips (key words and taboo words). The describer then tries to describe the key words to the members of the group.

• The judge keeps score. Group B get a point if they guess correctly. The judge and group A get a point if they are unable to guess the key word.
