Download the Rule Sheet- Shuffle the deck you've chosen and place it face down in the centre of the table.
- Place the four player cards (A, B, C and D) face down. Each player picks one: it decides which answer on each card is theirs. Return any unpicked player cards to the box.
- Each player takes the set of letter tiles that matches the colour of their player card.
- Lay the two black sets of tiles face up in the middle, none on top of another, within everyone's reach. This is the tile pool.
- Set a stopwatch or phone to one minute for each round.
