Respond is a quick, fast-paced word category game of checking off items on a card in one's hand by orally naming an item that fits the category, chosen by the player whose turn it is. Categories come up almost everywhere, and most of them are wide open for responses; players have to respond quickly for what might be the correct answer. On every valid response, players discard one of their cards, moving closer to winning the game.
This game's objective is for a player to get rid of all of his cards first. But, as it would seem, there is more to it than meets the eye. Players have to be on their toes because one small mistake or hesitation may set them back again, and the tension mounts as the rounds progress.
Respond combines quick thinking, diverse categories, and a race against the clock. The rules are simple and the gameplay fast, making it fun and competitive for all players, which is why this game really should be featured at your next casual game night or social event. It's not simply about knowing the answers—it's about responding with quick and strategic mannerisms.

Can players repeat the same answer throughout the game? For example, if player one says Apple (fruit), player two says Ezra (boys name), can player three again use Apple with his fruit card?
