Play this Quick-witted game with friends for a good laugh. Draw a card to set the topics, and roll the die to set the letter that your responses must begin with. As you race against time, your answers will get a little outrageous and a little OFF TOPIC!

—description from the back of the box

Players receive a personal whiteboard and whiteboard marker, and one player reveals a card with multiple prompts; one for each pair of lines on the whiteboard. Then the die is rolled to determine what letter every answer must start with. Once set, the timer is flipped and players must attempt to answer as many of the prompts as they can before time runs out.

After this phase, players will go through the prompts to see what everyone else wrote. Be careful, though, as if multiple people come up with the same answer, NO ONE gets points! For every unique answer to the prompt you have written down (up to two) you gain a point. Once the comparing and point-scoring is done, players erase their board and start a new round. After 5 rounds, the player with the most points is the winner.
