How to Play CardTegories
5 types of gameplay
You Snooze, You Lose
Last player standing
2 - 20+
A player draws a cardtegory card from the deck to start the game. Starting from that player, each player takes turns naming an example of the category in a clockwise or anti-clockwise order (keep the same order through the duration of the game). Any player who hesitates, repeats or fails to mention an example is the Snoozer. The snoozer is eliminated from the game. The player after the snoozer draws another card to continue the game until only one player is standing.
You Snooze, You Drink
Snoozer drinks
2 - 20+
This game is similar to the You Snooze, You Lose game; however, instead of eliminating the snoozer, the snoozer takes a drink. The snoozer starts a new round by drawing the next card from the deck. Drink responsibly.
Team Snooze, Team Lose
Collect as many cards as possible for your team
3 - 20+
Split the group into two or more teams and assign an umpire. The umpire determines how many rounds will be played. The umpire draws a card from the deck and mentions the category to start a round. The first team to say out an example of the category gets to keep the card. The team with the most cards wins at the end of the game rounds.
You Snooze, You Get One Card
Get rid of all your cards
2 - 20+
At the beginning of the game, each player gets five (5) cards. In a clockwise or anti-clockwise manner, the first player draws a card from their deck and starts the game. Each player takes turns naming an example of the category from the drawn card. Any player who hesitates or cannot mention an example is given the drawn card. That is, the snoozer gains one card, and the player who started the round has one less card. The next player draws a card from their deck to continue the game. Continue until a player has no cards left.

In a clockwise or anti-clockwise manner, each player draws a card and has 5 seconds to mention three (3) examples in the category. If the player succeeds, they get to keep their card and pick another one to continue their winning streak. If they fail, they return the card to the bottom of the deck and the next player continues the game.
