Players are dealt five "harmless word" cards while one player (the teller) is chosen to read an "innocent story". The teller will be using a book mark to let the other players know what kind of card (black noun and adjective or red verb and adverb) to play. The players will then play one of their cards, hoping to play the ones with the highest points as the player with the lowest score wins. By playing their cards, they assist the teller in telling an innocent story that turns dirty with the harmless word cards.
