Don't Panic! (1987)

About this game

The Name a Lot on the Spot Game. Game consists of 6 rounds and a bonus round. In Round 1, the guesser sets the timer, the announcer draws a card and announces the category. The guesser must name 3 things in the given category like things at the beach for example. The timer is stopped as soon as the guesser is able to name 3 things in the category. Their scoring peg is moved ahead based on where you stopped the timer (labeled 1-6). In Round 2, name 4 things and so on. For each round, the peg is moved ahead according to the number on the timer. The final round is the lightning round. The guesser starts the timer, and the announcer gives the category. The guesser must name 2 things in the given category. Once completed, the announcer sets the card aside, a new one is drawn, and the category is announced. Once again after 2 things have been named, the card is set aside, and a new one is drawn. This continues until the timer stops. One point is given for each card completed. The scoring peg is moved accordingly. The player with the most points is the winner.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 8. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
