Mad Chatter

This game is somewhat reminiscent of $25,000 Pyramid. A circular card with a visible category and 10 hidden items is placed into a viewer. A chart that is placed into the lower part of the viewer indicates which 2 players will play this round, and which will be giving the clues as opposed to guessing. The clue-giver presses a button to reveal each of the 10 items in turn and gives clues to the other player until the word is either guessed, or the clue-giver decides to pass. Passed words may not be revisited later. Once all 10 words have been gone through, or time runs out, each of those two players receive a point for each word that was guessed correctly. The next pair of players are then designated, a new category card is placed into the viewer, and the process is repeated until all of the pairings on the player chart have been completed. This tends to be a balancing factor, since all players get a round where they are paired with the better players, as well as the not-so-good players.
