Why it works

The birthday has its own rule. Once per round the guest of honor may “phone a friend”, and now and then the host turns to them and asks, “What was it like when you were growing up?” The host pages say it plainly: stories count more than points. Every fact was checked against at least two published sources.

Made for: Families and friends hosting a 70th birthday. US edition.
