Setup and Players

  • How do you play Wavelength with 2 players?

How a Round Works

  • If the dial sits on the line between two scoring wedges, which score counts?
  • Do you score a visible target area on the opposite side of the dial from the 4-point wedge?
  • What happens if the 4-point wedge is not visible on the dial at all?
  • If the active team lands the 4-point wedge, can the other team still score by guessing left or right?

Game Flow and Catch-Up

  • Does the losing team get an extra turn if it scores only 4 points?

Winning

  • Can a team's score go above 10 on the turn it reaches 10, and does that decide the game?

Clue-Giving Rules

  • Does a clue have to be from the clue giver's own perspective, and must its scale cover everything?
  • Can the clue giver add an explanation or qualifier after giving a clue?
  • Can a clue be based on well-known advice, such as 'one apple a day'?
  • Can a clue include numbers or percentages?
  • Is a clue with a modifier, like 'a good night's sleep', allowed?
  • Is a clue that is not on the spectrum, like 'Money' for cheap-expensive, legal?
