On their turn, each team selects one of the game’s cards which give a list of different information sources to be guessed by the other team member.
The clue-givers choose any one of the three words on the card, select word tiles for good descriptor, and place them on one of the easel’s three shelves, marked "Definitely", "Kind of" and "Not".
Guessers can start guessing as soon as the timer is flipped.
Clue-givers players cannot talk, make noises, or make charades-link signals.
Clue-givers can only respond to the guessers by playing more tiles.
If the clue-givers and the guessers are having too much trouble with a word, the former may skip to any other word on the card.
Each has three minutes to guess a word.
Each team who guessed a word correctly gets one point.
Each team takes a turn every round and the game lasts two rounds.
