'It's something to talk about' All you have to do is get the 'guesser'to SPEAK one simple word. Sounds easy doesn't it? In getting the 'guesser' to SPEAK the word, you or your team can say just about anything, as long as it is in the form of a sentence and does not contain the 'mystery word.' Still sounds EASY doesn't it? The rules are straight-forward. You're in a team of three or more players. Pick a team mate to be the 'guesser.' You and the remaining team mates are given a mystery word. It is your job to create a sentence together, using one word at a time - one player at a time, with the goal of leading your 'guesser' to guess the mystery word. For instance, if the mystery word is 'ESCALATOR', one team mate might say 'THIS'... The second team mate might go on to say 'MOVES'... Then, from player to player, they continue the sentence ie. 'YOU' 'UP' 'AND' 'DOWN' 'LIKE' 'STAIRS' until your 'guesser' says the word - ESCALATOR.(text from the bottom of box) - BoardGameGeek
