Using Word cards and Arrow tiles, players create a crossword puzzle together. They discuss the grid, trying to make as much sense of it as possible. Next, players try to guess the arrow associations: For each arrow number (from 1 to 10), they write down on their note sheets the associations they think best summarize the words lined up in front of the arrows. Together, the players reveal the associations they have written down. Each association found by a majority of players earns the group points: 1 Shell token (= 1 point), if the association has been written down by a majority of players. 1 Perfect token (= 2 points), if the association has been written down by even more players. Players add up the shells obtained to see which medal they get. Bronze Medal? Silver? Or Gold? And if players are really good, they can even earn the special mentions "Amazing!", "Incredible!" or "Perfect Masters!". The game also includes a Competitive variant for players who prefer a more challenging game. Two variants allow you to modulate the difficulty, making it easier (for playing with children, for example) or harder for experienced players. -description from the publisher
