This game is great fun, very socially interactive, for 3 to 8 players, and requires only a minute or two to learn. Each player has a pawn on the board. Ten 'noun' cards are turned face up. An 'adjective' card is then turned face up and players vote privately, then publicly, for the noun they feel best links to the given adjective. If any noun receives a majority of the votes, the players who voted for it advance one space on the board. The fact that all possible choices are on the board for everyone to see often results in hilarious observations blurted spontaneously, particularly with respect to some of the odder pairings. The game moves briskly, always a plus, and rarely did all players vote for the same choice. This is a fun, pressure-free game. No one at our table felt un-smart for even a moment, although several were uncharacteristically comical during the course of the game.
