Step 2: Blurt a Word

Players must shout a word that starts with the correct letter based on the card type.

Use the first letter when the number is spelled.

Example: Card says 5 → Five → Letter F

✔ Frosting

Step 3: Win the Round

The first player to shout a valid word wins.

The winner:

• Becomes the new active player
  
• Immediately battles the next player clockwise
  

Words Not Allowed

• The word shown on the card
  
• Numbers or colors
