Read the full game description
Guesstures turns charades into a frantic race against a mechanical timer. A performer selects four word cards, loads them into the Mimer-Timer, and acts each clue without speaking while teammates shout guesses. Correctly guessed cards must be snatched from the device before they drop out of reach, so even an obvious performance can be lost to hesitation. Teams alternate performers and score the cards they rescue, with harder words worth more. The timer gives the familiar party-game format a crisp rhythm and makes physical timing part of every clue.
