There are two types of cards: nouns (red) and adjectives (green). Each player is given a small stack of nouns. The game begins when one player (the judge) draws an adjective. Each player then anonymously lays down one noun he\/she believes the judge will associate with the adjective. Players can try to sway the decision, but ultimately, the judge&#8217;s power is absolute. Some people are inherently literal, sarcastic, wishy-washy, optimistic, stubborn or dryly humorous. The challenge lies in figuring out what type(s) of judges surround you and what kind of judge you want to be. Discovering who&#8217;s on the same wave length is always interesting. What&#8217;s more &#8220;magical&#8221; &#8212; a sunset, Thomas Edison, the Pyramids, surfing the net, or Barney the dinosaur?
