How to Play

To Play the "Don't Name the Same or You're Lame" Game, You'll Need:

How to Play:

  1. At the beginning of the game, you'll be given a category. If you like the category, great! If not, you can choose another one.
  2. Once the category is announced, start the timer! You have 60 seconds to write down as many items that belong to that category as possible. Here's the catch: If any of your friends write the same item, it won't count toward your final score!
  3. After the time is up, players will take turns reading their lists aloud in a clockwise direction. If someone claims, "I wrote that too," everyone who wrote the same item must cross it out, and none of those players will score points for it.
  4. If, after everyone reads out loud their list, you still have things that are not crossed out, Congratulations! You score 1 point for each item left uncrossed.
  5. After five rounds, the player with the most points wins! If there’s a tie, those players will have a showdown. If there’s still a tie, it’s time to play UNO.

In the spirit of friendly competition, let’s embrace the fun side of our gamer debates! You know how it goes—everyone loves to say things like, “Is Lady Gaga really an actress?” or “Is The Lord of the Rings actually a trilogy?”

Here’s the deal: when it comes to your prompts, it's all about what the majority of your fellow players believe. So let’s keep it lighthearted! Yes, Lady Gaga is totally an actress, and YES, The Lord of the Rings is definitely a trilogy!

Remember, the goal is to have a blast and enjoy the game, not to get caught up in nitpicking! If we approach each round with a positive vibe and a sense of humor, we’ll all score those precious points together and have a great time. Let’s play for the joy of it, not the arguments! Happy gaming!
