It is to each person's advantage to roll "Pick a Letter" as often as possible. By doing this you are attempting to write the letters in your Identity's "abbreviated name" before another player figures out who you are. "Score Cards" are won after "Revealing" your opponent's Identity, and/or, after you "Pick" all the letters in your own Identity. Once you complete the spelling of your Identity's name - announce you have done so - replace your "Identity card" with a new one, and select one of the (5) "Score Cards". If you "Reveal" another player's Identity, you may take one of that person's "Score Cards" or one from the "Main Card Holder". If you guess wrong, your opponent may take one of your "Cards" or, one from the "Main Card Holder". Any time there is an incorrect response, the player being challenged benefits. —description from the rulebook
