Gameplay
2
The player sitting on the right from the player setting up the table takes the first turn. The first player picks two cards to uncover, then they can try to come up with a tutorial title that connects both cards, starting the sentence with the word “How”. If the player can come up with a title that is deemed satisfactory by all other players, the pair of cards stays face up and the turn shifts to the next player moving clockwise.
If instead the player decides to not invent a tutorial title, or the tile proposed is not deemed satisfactory, the two cards are turned face down and the turn shifts to the next player moving clockwise.

This set of rules is inclusive and gender-neutral, so the players will be addressed using “they/them” pronouns.
A recommendation before the game starts: please remember that the well-being and safety of people that sit around the same table is more important than one’s individual enjoyment. The experience won’t be truly positive unless it is so for every person involved.
Some of the questions are taken directly from the web (and they have been selected for their cringe effect), so feel free to skip or discard from the game any content you may find problematic or distressing. In case of doubts, pausing the game and asking is always the best option. In the “print and play” files you will find empty templates of the cards: with these you can create new or substitutive versions of the cards.
