Platypus
Players cooperate to identify one hidden target from a shared row of eight words or names by giving and interpreting adjective clues. One player (the guide) knows which card is the target and plays adjective cards from a small hand; the rest (the explorers) respond by eliminating one or two visible cards they judge inconsistent with the accumulating clues. If the explorers eliminate the correct target, the round fails; if they successfully isolate the target through four clue rounds, the group succeeds.
