Why it works as a party game

It is a table game that survives pie. Thanksgiving party games for mixed ages need a pencil, not a sprint.

How to play

  1. Pick a letter. Categories: foods, films, football teams, things you are thankful for.
  2. Ninety seconds to fill the list.
  3. Read answers. Duplicates score zero. Unique answers score one.
  4. Three letters is a full game.

Hosting tips

  • Skip X.
  • Argue fast. Looking things up kills it.
  • A kids' team can share a sheet.
