Articulate Your Life Game

Product Information

When the timer runs out the turn is finished. The DESCRIBERS count the number of cards that were correctly guessed and their team's playing piece is moved forward by that many segments.

Say the word itself or any derivative, e.g. If the word is ‘Post’ you may not say ‘Postage’ or if it is ‘Swim’ you may not say ‘Swimmer’ The ENTERTAINMENT category on the Finish segment is used if players decide beforehand that they want a longer game and play two circuits. DESCRIPTION RULES If the icon shows two red timers, the 20 second timer is turned over when it first runs out, giving the team 40 seconds in total. PLAYING A TURN Say the word itself or any derivative eg. If the word is "Post" you may not say "Postage" or if it is "Swim" you may not say "Swimmer" For a longer game, use the ENTERTAINMENT category on the Finish segment and make a second lap of the board.

THE TIMERS

Both products come from the same team that brought you the original – so expect the same sort of gabbling team-based lunacy that you know and love… And for a completely new (yet pleasingly familiar) game… you’ll find Articulate Your Life starring in toy shops and department stores across the UK. You’ll find the gameplay and laugh-out-loud-factor very similar, but Articulate Your Life brings six totally different question categories, with cards that are slightly more left-field to test your creative description powers! Describers and Guessers: Each turn team members divide into DESCRIBERS and GUESSERS. All players MUST take their turn at being DESCRIBERS during the course of the game. The Bonus Dice: The Bonus Dice sides are numbered 3 - 8. At the start of each turn a DESCRIBER throws the dice to determine the team's BONUS TARGET for that turn. If your team correctly guess the BONUS TARGET number of words (or more) during that turn they win two bonus moves. For example if you throw a 4 and your team guess five card entries correctly you move your playing piece 5 spaces PLUS a further two. And other countries, some with very many 'Articulate' enthusiasts, found themselves under restrictions. So we got shedloads of visits here from outside the UK. (Hello, Australian friends!)

If this number of correctly guessed cards equals or exceeds the BONUS TARGET, the team adds two bonus segments to their move. No matter how big the team, there are never more than two DESCRIBERS at a time. Once familiar with the game, teams may wish to use only one DESCRIBER. THE TIMERS Unfold the board, switch on the timer and place it in the centre. Players divide into teams. Two larger teams are better than several smaller teams. Each team selects a playing piece and puts it on the 'START' segment. SOME THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

No matter how big the team there are never more than two Describers. Once you have played the game several times teams may wish to have only ONE DESCRIBER whatever the team size. PLAYING A TURN:
