About the game
Don’t the fall for the fake answers to avoid the drop! Players form into two teams and take turns guessing which 5 of 11 items on a list are actual examples of a category on the card (e.g., Bears, Best Picture Oscar Winners, McDonald’s Menu Items). They pull a tab that keeps the answers hidden. If they guess right, the other team takes a turn. If they get one wrong, the tab will reveal a color that matches one of the planks they need to remove from a cardboard cube tower full of 21 wooden cubes. Any cubes that fall from the plank drop are collected by the team who removed the plank. Whichever team collects 11 cubes loses.
