How to Play

Game Setup

1. Print printouts incl. score sheet, and print out a response sheet for each player.
2. Designate a Scorekeeper to tally points and someone to run this app.
3. You'll need a pen or pencil for everyone.

Printouts

• Scoresheet
• Scoresheet Example
• Responsesheet
• Responsesheet Example
You will need atleast one response sheet for each player and a single scoresheet.

The Basics

1. Gather Players: 3 to 9 players.
2. Choose Your Game: Select from various categories: Famous People, Food & Drink, Aussies, Brands, and more.
3. Choose the First Turn Holder: The oldest player begins as the Turn Holder. Each round the player to the left becomes the new Turn Holder, and the next round begins with a new term.
4. Rounds: Each round, the app generates a term (e.g., "ball"). Write down your best word associations or responses to that term, aiming to match the turn holder’s responses. The computer will tell you how many responses to write down.
5. Jibe/Jibed: If your response matches the turn holder's, you "jibe!" The turn holder wants to guess what the others will write.
6. Revealing Responses: The Turn Holder reads their three responses aloud, one at a time. Each player checks if they have any matching (or “jibing”) responses with the Turn Holder.
7. New Round: Press "New Round" to get the next term. Rounds are quick and fun, so stay sharp!

Scoring

• For each match, both the player and the Turn Holder earn 2 points per Jibe! All players double or triple their points for double point and triple points rounds.
• Bullseye Round: 2 points per jibe cumulative. e.g If five people jibe, all five get 10 points including the Turn Holder.

Winning the Game

• The game continues for an agreed number of rounds (at least one full turn around the table). The player with the highest score at the end wins!
