- Groups of at least four playing around one phone
- Worth noticing
- The price of a square starts at four guessed words and rises by one each time someone recaptures it.
Field notes
The site lays out a turn as four steps: choose a square, face possible sabotage, explain words for 60 seconds, then claim the square and draw a card. Its two decks are described as 50 cards each, with power-ups and sabotage played at different moments in a turn. Squares become harder to take as they are recaptured, adding a simple escalating cost to the race for a line of five.
