If any players disagree with another player’s answer, they can challenge it, and each player votes on whether the answer in question is acceptable or not. Once the timer runs out, players stop writing and take turns reading their list of words. For example, if the category is “Sandwiches,” then “Knuckle” would be acceptable. For example, if the category is “Historical Figures” and the letter is “W,” an answer of “Washington, George” would be acceptable. When using proper names, you are allowed to place the last name first. The articles “a,” “an,” and “the” do not count towards the letter requirement, and multi-word answers count if the first letter in the first word matches the letter on the die. For example, if the letter on the die is “C” and the category is “Places,” players could write “Chicago,” “Congo,” “Charlotte,” and so on. Players then begin filling in their answer sheet with words that fit the chosen category and start with the letter rolled on the die. Then, roll the 20-sided letter die and start the 3-minute timer. Choose one category card to start with and have each player put that card on top of their pile face up. To start the game, give each player a pile of category cards and a scoresheet, which has 3 columns on it-1 for each round of the game. Scattergories is a fun 2-6 player game where players try to score points by listing words that start with the same letter in a specific category. For example, if the category is “Cartoon Character” and the letter rolled was “P,” earn 2 points for the answer “Peter Parker” or “Peppa Pig.” Variation: Give a bonus point for each word in your answer that uses alliteration and the letter for the round.Since Players 3 and 4 both had the same answer, neither of them get points for that category. Example: The category is “Boy Names” and the letter is “P.” You write “Phil”, player 2 writes "Peter," and players 3 and 4 both write “Paul.” You and Player 2 both get 1 point since your answers were unique.Continue reading your answers for each category to tally scores for the first round. If someone said the same thing as you, then anyone with that answer earns no points for that category. If no one else has written down the same answer as you or your team, then you earn 1 point. Go around to each player or team to hear their answer. Choose any player or team to start and have them read their answer for the first category. Gain 1 point for each answer if no other players wrote it down. You don't want your opponents to steal your answers! If you are playing as part of a team, be sure to write down any answers you want to suggest instead of saying them out loud.You’re not allowed to use the same answer for multiple categories.
For example, if the category is “Vegetables” and the letter is G, “green beans” is an acceptable answer but “green lettuce” isn’t. Avoid using adjectives unless they’re part of the actual word.If you roll the letter “J” and the category is “Basketball Player,” both “Julius Irving” and “Michael Jordan” are perfect answers. If the answer you think of is a person, their first name or last name can start with the selected letter.If the category is “Movie,” then “The Dark Knight” would be an appropriate answer for the letter “D,” but not for the letter “T.” The words “a,” “an,” and “the” don't count if they're the first word of your answer.Example: If the category is “Boy Names” and the letter on the die is “P,” you might write down “Phil” or “Patrick” as your answer.Once the timer runs out, stop writing even if you missed a few categories. When you have a unique answer, fill the answers in the first column of your sheet. Try to think of unique answers so you’re less likely to write something another player put down. Look through each of the 12 categories and quickly brainstorm an answer for each one that starts with the letter on the die. Write down a word starting with the round’s letter for each category.
