Thanks for the game rules. I looked everywhere and couldn't find them. I also didn't know there was a junior version so I'll have to check that out. I love how simple the rules are.

I lost my rules so I'm glad I could find them online. I've actually watched a few videos lately to learn how to play new games. Both are nice and have their place.

Concept is simple but depending on what question you get you jam up and can't think. Some of the most simple things you can't spit out in under 5 seconds. Fun game and quick to learn how to play - the game rules and very straight forward.
