About the Game

The Category Game is a word/trivia game for ages 6 and up. In many ways, it can be seen as a simplified form of 'Scattergories.'

In a given round, five category cards and five letter cards are dealt out in two parallel lines. After the timer is flipped, players have a set amount of time to come up with as many answers as possible corresponding to each category/letter pair. Once the timer runs out, duplicates answers are eliminated and points are scored for each remaining answer.

The player with the most points after four rounds is the winner.

Box contains: 24 Category Cards 24 Letter Cards 1 Timer Rules
