That’s why I offer the challenge of thinking of the most obscure words to fit these categories, and hopefully I’ll be able to commit them to memory in time for Christmas. The same word, or part of word can not be used twice in the same round (Bird-Bluejay and Flower-Bluebell would be against the rules), the category can’t be used in the answer (no Kitchenware for Kitchen) and the big kicker is that the word doesn’t count if more than one person writes it down, so besides thinking of the words, you also need either think of something so obscure that nobody would write it, or gamble that it’s so obvious that everyone else would be afraid to. Scattergories is a fast-thinking game of categories and words Roll the die, flip the sand timer.
Whether your playing with friends online with Zoom or at home, you will be entertained for hours with over a million possible list combinations.
For those of you unfamiliar with the game, you get a list of 12 categories, and one of the players rolls a 20 sided die (Q, U, V, X, Y, Z are left off…we always find H and K to be the most difficult) and then everyone has 2 minutes to think of a word that suits that category.

Somehow, I always cave under the pressure and NEVER manage to win…so many times I have lost by one point. When the time is up, all players quit writing. When the timer starts, players see how many categories they can fill up by thinking of answers that start with the chosen letter. It is a holiday tradition at my mother’s house for the family to sit around the dining room table and play Scattergories. Pick a letter of the alphabet (you can roll a alphabet dice or draw out of a hat).
