How to Play:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Each player draws ten (10) white cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. 1. One player (the judge) draws a black card and reads it out loud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Each other player selects one (or two, or three!) white card(s) to fulfill the prompt and gives it\/them to the judge face down.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The judge selects their favorite entry and gives that player the black card.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. All players draw back up to ten cards in hand.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. The next player becomes the judge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Repeat steps 2-6.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. The player with the most black cards at the end wins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Basic Rules:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. A player may discard their entire hand at any time to draw ten new white cards.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. A player may discard one white card at any time, but must announce to everyone that they did not understand the reference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. If playing with a small group, a \u201cghost\u201d player may be added with random draws from the pile.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. The players decide when the game ends. They can play until one player has some set number of black cards or until they feel like stopping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Drop pronouns or definite articles as needed to make the card combo results make sense when reading. Don\u2019t be too literal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
