Rules

Setup:

• Each player chooses a token.
• Write a different adjective on each of 4 strips of paper. Place one of each at the ends of each axis on the game board.
• Choose a player to be the first clue-giver.

Gameplay:

• The clue-giver rolls two six-sided dice, keeping the results to themselves. These numbers become the coordinates of the target square (the arrangement of numbers is up to the clue-giver).
• The clue-giver says a one-word clue to point players to the target.
• Based on the clue and the axis labels, the remaining players place their tokens on the space they believe to be the target.

Scoring:

• The clue-giver gains one point for each correct guess.
• Players who guessed correctly gain one point for each player on their square.
• If any players shared an incorrect guess with another player, they each lose one point for each player on their square.

Repeat steps 1-4 with a new clue-giver until all players have given a clue.

Write new words for each axis and repeat as desired. The player with the highest score after the final round wins!
