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

It keeps the classic icebreaker moving and gives both the speaker and the voters a reason to stay engaged.

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.
