Hold your Hat

Players are divided into teams, and a color card is selected at the beginning of the game to determine the words being guessed. On each team's turn, one player is the clue-giver and the other players on the team attempt to guess words and phrases from the word deck before the sand timer runs out. Each team's turn ends by drawing a special card that provides powerful effects. The game is played over three rounds. Round 1: Description Round 2: One Word Round 3: Mime During each round, teams take turns until all words are guessed correctly. At the end of the round, the correct guesses are counted and points are awarded. All word cards are then shuffled for the next round. The team with the most points from all three rounds wins the game. —description from the publisher
