"The bottom line of Brainsweat is to earn the most points." Points are based on correct answers but more so on fooling other players.

Brainsweat variations: Scramble. Find as many words as possible in the mixed up letters.

Reverse: Co-players attempt to guess the word which has been defined or to create a convincing phony.

Hilarious "Oh no what now" cards that add another dimension that can be friend or foe.

Example: I've never been to France, but I love French Fries. Add 5 points to my score.

Warning: The "Sturgeon" General has determined this game could be habit forming.
