The bit everyone gets wrong
Everyone stops the moment Basta is called, even mid-word. That pressure is the game.

- The phone runs it
The rules
4 steps.
- The phone shows a letter and the categories. Grab paper, or just keep them in your head.
- Fill in every category with something starting with that letter.
- First person finished shouts "¡Basta!" and everyone stops immediately.
- Read your answers out. Only you had it: 10 points. Someone else too: 5.
What the phone does
The phone deals the letter and categories, runs the clock and adds up the points you award.
It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.

Basta is one game in a library of 59. Finish it and PartyStack names the next one — a different kind each time, so nobody has to go back to a menu.
