Unanimo

Score the most points by writing the same words as the others: here, originality earns nothing.

You’ll need the game box. Marquoir sums up the rules and keeps score.

Setup

The first player turns over the top card of the stack.
Everyone, including them, writes in the current column eight words the picture brings to mind. Allow a reasonable amount of time; finding fewer than eight does not matter.
The first player reads out their first word. Everyone who wrote it raises a hand, and each of them scores as many points as there are raised hands.
A word nobody else wrote scores 0 points.
They read out all eight words this way, then the player on their left reads out those not yet announced, and so on.
Not allowed: words sharing the same root as the word written on the card, and numbers or symbols shown in the picture.
Only strictly identical words count together: "book" and "books" are two different words.
Each player totals their points for the card, then a new player turns over the next card.

One-minute timer: allow one minute to write your eight words.
Stop: the first to have written their eight words calls out "Stop" and everyone puts their pencil down.
Banned initials: draw five letters; no word may begin with any of them.
In teams, recommended from eight players: four teams choose their eight words together and count as a single player.

How much does a word written by two players score?

Two points for each of the two. With five, it is five points for each of the five.

Does the last player need to read out their remaining words?

There is no need: if nobody announced them before, they are the only one who wrote them and they score nothing.
