How these guides are written

Every guide starts from what people actually search for, then answers it with rules you can follow without looking anything else up: how many players, how long a round takes, what you need and how to keep score. Card examples come straight from the word lists and question decks in the app, and every count on a page is the number of items the page shows. Nothing here is sexual or about drinking. More on how the decks are checked is on the about page.
