How to Play:

This is a team vs team game. Players are divided roughtly equally into a blue team and a red team, and one player on each team plays as the leader of that team. Each team leader has their own book (though they can share a single book); the rest of the players can share the third "guessers" book.

A set of 25 words is provided to the group. Only the team leaders know which of these words are considered to be blue team words, which are red team words, which are neutral (yellow) words, and which one word is the assasin (black) word. Team leaders take turns providing a clue to their teammates to help them guess the words that belong to their team.

On their turn, the team leader says exactly one word and one number to their teammates, who must then collectively guess a single word that they think belongs to their team's color. A clue word cannot be in the word list in any form and must relate to the meaning of the words. The leader is allowed to spell the word.

After the teammates choose a word, the team leader looks up the color of the word on their sheet and reports the result:

Remember: Team leaders must never give any indication about whether a correct guess was the word they were thinking of when they gave the clue, and must refrain from any comments, inflections, or reactions that could assist the guesser.

Note: Each game has a random starting team that must give the first clue. That team will always have one more word that needs to be guessed than the other team.
