Variations

Make it easier

Use broad categories and allow two skips per turn.

Make it harder

Remove skips or ban rhyming and first-letter clues.

Game mode setup

Use this as the main activity from Social Flow Board. Play for points, bragging rights, or simple rotation first. STUD mode is optional and the activity works without it.

Why it works

The one-skip limit keeps turns tense while still saving the group from one impossible prompt.

Safety / fair play

Use a safe space, avoid hard contact or unsafe surfaces, adjust for age and skill, and agree on close calls before the round starts.
