📖 About This Game

Fringo is a guess the word party game, with the usual approach of one team member trying to describe the word to others, but there is one catch: the description needs to be in the form of questions. If the word was 'Germany', the description could be "What is a big country in the Central Europe? Which country's capital is Berlin?" and so on. The words are categorized into five classes: around the world, animals and nature, famous people, sports, and history. At the start of the game each team gets a board with squares with category names, which are then filled with tokens of corresponding categories. Teams then take turns with rotating member as the one who tries to get the team to guess the words of needed categories. They can explain as many words as they manage as long as there is time sand timer. Afterwards the team can flip as many category tokens as they guessed words correctly. First team to flip all of them wins the game.
