In this game, players split into two teams and take turns acting as the "clue-giver" for their team.Each round, one team's clue-giver secretly selects a word from a card and provides a clue to their teammates in an attempt to get them to guess the word. However, unlike other word association games, the clue-giver's clue cannot contain any part of the word itself or its direct synonyms. Instead, they must come up with creative, tangential clues that lead their team to the correct answer.Meanwhile, the opposing team listens in on the clue-giving process and has the opportunity to guess the word before the clue-giver's team does. This adds an extra layer of strategy and excitement as players must be careful not to give away too much information to the opposing team while still guiding their own team to the correct answer."Crosstalk" is praised for its innovative gameplay mechanics, engaging teamwork dynamics, and the challenge it presents to players' creativity and lateral thinking skills. It offers a fresh and unique twist on the word association genre, making it a standout choice for social gatherings and game nights.
