Which drawing deck to print
Print the kids deck for classroom and family play, the easy deck for warm-ups and large groups, and the hard deck for teens and adults who want a real challenge. The mixed deck blends easy, medium and hard so one deck fits every age at the table.
Print, cut and play
Eight cards per sheet with cut lines. One player draws the secret word, their team guesses before the timer ends, and no letters or numbers are allowed.
- Print double-sided, flipping on the long edge, so backs hide the words.
- Cut, shuffle, and draw one card per turn.
- Use 30–60 seconds for easy words and 90 seconds for hard scenes.
