Object of the Game

Be the first team to reach 30 points. Points are scored when a team solves a Mad Gab puzzle. The puzzles consist of a set of unrelated words that, when read aloud, sound like familiar phrases, names, places, etc.

For example' "Europe Lace Sore Mind" sounds like "Your Place or Mine" once you say it loud.

Teams try to solve three puzzles before the times stops. If you solve all three, you can score bonus points! Or if you don't, the "Stealing" team may then gain points by solving any puzzles the "Solving" team could not. Mad Gab is contagious and addictive! The more you play the better you get!
