How do you play Wavelength?

The objective of Wavelength is for two teams to compete to be the first to reach 10 points. Teams earn points by having their Psychic give a clue that helps their teammates turn the red dial as close as possible to the center of a hidden colored target, and by the opposing team correctly guessing if the target is to the left or right of the dial.

The rules, step by step

Setup
To set up Wavelength, place the game device in the center of the table. Ensure the blue screen is closed, which randomizes the target location. Each team takes a score tracker and places it on the '0' space of the scoring track. The game is now ready to begin.
Objective
The objective of Wavelength is for two teams to compete to be the first to reach 10 points. Teams earn points by having their Psychic give a clue that helps their teammates turn the red dial as close as possible to the center of a hidden colored target, and by the opposing team correctly guessing if the target is to the left or right of the dial.
On your turn
A round of Wavelength consists of three phases: the Psychic Phase, the Team Phase, and the Left/Right Phase. In the Psychic Phase, the current Psychic closes the blue screen, which randomizes the target's location, and then provides a one-word clue related to the two opposing concepts on the round card. In the Team Phase, the Psychic's team discusses the clue and turns the red dial to where they believe the target is located. In the Left/Right Phase, the opposing team guesses whether the target is to the left or right of the red dial's current position.
Scoring
After the Left/Right Phase, the Psychic opens the blue screen to reveal the target. The Psychic's team scores points based on how close their dial is to the center of the target (up to 4 points). If the opposing team correctly guessed whether the target was to the left or right of the dial, they earn 1 point. Points are added to the respective team's score trackers.
Game end
The game continues with teams alternating Psychics and taking turns until one team reaches 10 points. The first team to achieve 10 points is declared the winner of Wavelength.
Tips
For the Psychic, try to think of clues that fall clearly on one side of the spectrum but aren't at the extreme ends, allowing your team to pinpoint the target more accurately. For the guessing team, pay close attention to the nuance of the clue and how it relates to the given spectrum to make the most informed decision when turning the dial. Effective communication and understanding your teammates' thought processes are key to success.
