The segment that the playing piece finishes its move on dictates the category that the team will play in the following turn. No matter how big the team, there are never more than two DESCRIBERS at a time. Once familiar with the game, teams may wish to use only one DESCRIBER. THE TIMERS Max Time Category: If a team lands on the MAX TIME segment (White) they can chose which category they want to play on their next turn AND they also get the MAXIMUM 37 second long turn. To make the timer give a 37 second turn, hold down the timer's button for 2 seconds. At the start of a 'Max Time' turn a DESCRIBER throws the Bonus Dice as usual. HOW TO PLAY:

The ENTERTAINMENT category on the Finish segment is used if players decide beforehand that they want a longer game and play two circuits. DESCRIPTION RULES

DESCRIBERS AND GUESSERS

Both products come from the same team that brought you the original – so expect the same sort of gabbling team-based lunacy that you know and love…

If this number of correctly guessed cards equals or exceeds the BONUS TARGET, the team adds two bonus segments to their move. And other countries, some with very many 'Articulate' enthusiasts, found themselves under restrictions. So we got shedloads of visits here from outside the UK. (Hello, Australian friends!) If a team lands on the MAX TIME (white) segment, they can choose which category to play. The team gets 40 seconds for this turn (the 'two red timers' icon). WINNING The colour and name of the segment on which the team's playing piece sits shows which category of words is to be described. For instance the START position shows 'HOME LIFE', so a team's very first turn would involve the pale brown card entries only. The segment's timer icon gives the time allowed for this turn.For a longer game, use the ENTERTAINMENT category on the Finish segment and make a second lap of the board. DESCRIPTION RULES

Say the word itself or any derivative eg. If the word is "Post" you may not say "Postage" or if it is "Swim" you may not say "Swimmer" Unfold the board, switch on the timer and place it in the centre. Players divide into teams. Two larger teams are better than several smaller teams. Each team selects a playing piece and puts it on the 'START' segment. SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW: A team's turn begins when one of their DESCRIBERS rolls the BONUS DICE. The sides are numbered 3 - 8 and this determines the team's BONUS TARGET. A member of an opposing team then sets the appropriate timer. Say the word itself or any derivative, e.g. If the word is ‘Post’ you may not say ‘Postage’ or if it is ‘Swim’ you may not say ‘Swimmer’ When the timer runs out the turn is finished. The DESCRIBERS count the number of cards that were correctly guessed and their team's playing piece is moved forward by that many segments.No matter how big the team there are never more than two Describers. Once you have played the game several times teams may wish to have only ONE DESCRIBER whatever the team size. PLAYING A TURN:
