Why it works

The count to five is a choice, not a rule. Gentle Play drops the timer and gives a point for every answer, so one or two still score. In Seated Circle a card that stumps one player moves on to the next, and nobody is put on the spot twice in a row. The printed answer ideas let you offer a hint or settle a question.

Made for: The family Thanksgiving table and the potluck first; office teams, church groups and senior centers too.
