From BoardGameGeek

In this fast-paced party game, two clue-givers bet on how few words they'll need to have their teammate(s) guess five secret answers, starting at 25. The lowest bidder takes the card and must beat the challenge within their limited clues--and time! Every word counts in this energy-fueled board game that keeps family and friends on the edge of their seats!
