Components

  • 40 Vote cards in player colours (5 per player)
  • 45 Question cards
  • 220 Word cards
  • 48 Solo tokens (5 tokens worth "1" and 1 token worth "5" per player)
  • 1 game board

Setup

  1. Each player chooses a colour and receives:
    • 6 Solo tokens in their colour,
    • 5 Vote cards in their colour (on the back).
  2. Place the game board in the centre of the table.
  3. Shuffle the Word cards to form a draw pile, and place it near the board.
  4. Draw 5 Word cards and place them in front of the five spaces around the game board, as shown in the set-up illustration.
  5. Shuffle the Question cards to form a draw pile, and place it in the centre of the board.

How to Play

The game is played over several rounds.

At the start of each round, turn over the Question card on top of the draw pile. Simultaneously, each player votes for the answer of their choice among the five Words around the board. To do so, place face down in front of you the Vote card in the colour matching the Word you choose.

As soon as the Question is revealed, you may not give an opinion or make comments that could give information about your vote.

When all players have voted, they reveal their Vote cards simultaneously.

The most represented colour indicates the winning Word. All players who voted for that Word return 1 Solo token worth 1, which they put back in the box.

Note: Once your five Solo tokens worth 1 have been returned, take them back in exchange for your Solo token worth 5.

Then discard the Word card or cards that were chosen (see the boxed rules below). Replace these cards with new Words from the draw pile and begin a new round.

Unanimity If all players vote for the same Word, that Word is discarded without being replaced, and nobody loses a token. Then vote again for the 4 remaining Words, keeping the same Question. If another unanimity occurs, proceed in the same way until an answer emerges or only one answer remains around the board. In that last case, nobody loses a Solo token.

Ties If several Words receive the same number of votes, all players who voted for those Words return a Solo token.

Special case: If this leads to ALL players returning a token, then nobody does, and the Words concerned by the tie are discarded without being replaced. Start a new vote with the same Question. And so on, until one or more answers emerge, or until one or no Words remain around the board.

Example

During this round, the Question is "What is the most terrifying thing among a penguin, a hang glider, the sea, the internet and travel?"

The players reveal their cards at the same time: 2 players voted green and 3 players voted blue. So the penguin is the most terrifying.

The 3 players who voted for this Word return 1 Solo token worth 1.

The penguin card is discarded and replaced with a new Word card.

A new Question is drawn, and a new round can thus begin.

End of the Game

When one or more players return their last Solo token, the game ends. That player or those players are declared winners.
