Rules

On your turn, drag a tile from your hand onto a board tile and make the case that your phrase links to it. Everyone else votes thumbs up or down. If more than half vote up, your tile lands (a green tile splits into two red tiles). If not, you draw two penalty tiles of the same color. Instead of playing, you can turn tiles in to refresh your hand. First player to empty their hand wins.

Tips for winning

  • Pick the most surprising link — a clever, unexpected connection wins votes.
  • Save your strongest tiles for awkward targets.
  • Watch the board — every phrase out there is a future target for you.

Best scores

Lower is better — score is the winner's turns × 10 (70 is best).
