The phone runs it

The rules

4 steps.

  1. The phone shows a letter and a few categories.
  2. Race the clock to come up with an answer for each.
  3. Shout to stop early if you finish first.
  4. Score together: unique answers score more than shared ones.

The bit everyone gets wrong

Shorter and faster than Basta — fewer categories, less time. It rewards speed over cleverness.

What the phone does

The phone deals the letter and categories, runs the clock and tallies.

It is a dealer and a scorekeeper, never a judge. It cannot hear the room and it does not decide who was right.
