Reverse Charades is a hilarious twist on a classic game where the entire team has 60 seconds to act out as many words as one team member can guess. It’s a fast-paced, fiercely fun team competition that’s an absolute riot with families, work teams, school groups, party-goers or among a few close friends. But be warned…you’re in for big and dangerous doses of fun. Reverse Charades Junior Edition is the family friendly version of Reverse Charades. Contains: 360 double sided word cards sand timer instructions Basic rules (from the publisher): 1. Split into teams of three or more. Decide on a number of rounds or a point target to win. 2. 1 word guessed correctly = 1 point. Each team has one minute to guess as many words as possible. 3. Each team selects a guesser (everyone gets a turn) and the rest of the team acts out the words. 4. Shhh! Not a peep among the team members. 5. Ready, set, go! 720 words, for 6+ players ages 6 and up, geared towards Kids & Family.
