The basics
Together, the table helps the captain put everyone's answers in order, each given with a secret intensity from 1 to 10. The captain reads a theme describing a scale, each player answers according to their number without saying it, then the captain ranks the players from lowest to highest and each reveals their card. Each ranking mistake penalises the table according to the rulebook's scale, which says, after the set number of rounds, whether the team has won.
