Start a gameTips for hard words
Abstract words have no shape or colour, so the clues get vague and the imposter blends in. Play these once everyone knows the game, and allow a longer discussion.
How to use this list
- Pick a pair. Give word A to everyone and word B to one secret player, or flip it.
- Everyone gives a one-word clue, then you vote on the imposter.
- Don't reuse a pair in the same game night. Cross it off.
