The game comes with a Match Play deck and a Scratch Play deck, and each player decides which to use on his turn. Scratch Play proceeds in Scattergories fashion, as players, within a time limit, write phrases that include the word that is read off the card. Score for phrases that no one else has written. A card in Match Play features three words with a blank either before or after each word. Fill in each blank with a word to create a common phrase. The more players you match, the higher your score. Play until one player reaches an agreed-upon total.
