Vamps or Fata Morgana

60 cards give you topics or categories, for which you need to find five suitable words, this time, however, you do not need to be especially creative, but should strive to correlate with other players.

Cards are shuffled and stacked face-down. The announcer of the first round draws the top card, decides on one of the two topics and reads the topic to all players - not the two bonus words! - and turns over the timer. Now all players, including the announcer, write down five words suitable for the topic. You cannot write down synonyms and not the the same word in varying combinations, either.

When the timer has run out, players in turn read out their list and pause after each word. All players, who also did write down this word, raise their hand and score one point for each raised had. If you are alone with a word, you only score one point for it. Synonyms like couch and sofa are considered to be the same word for scoring purposes. A player who - with the exception of the announcer who saw them on the card - did write down one of the Bonus words on the card scores 3 or 5 points bonus. For the topic of Vamps, for instance, the bonus words are Wooden Stake and Holy Water, for Fata Morgana Beduin Tent and Shadow. For topics like Mine on sobriquets for your car or No, thank you on bad ideas for gifts are a challenge as regards to the bonus words!

If everybody was announcer once or twice, you win with most points.

How come, categories and words for categories again ...? Yes, and it is fun, the turn-around in the scoring with points for correlation and the bonus words are a nice, well-working version.
