More about these tools

There is a hard deck for adults who find the usual cards too easy, a kids' deck of things a six-year-old can sketch, easy, classroom and Bible decks, a clean funny deck, a Spanish deck for language classes, themed decks for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the seasons around them, and two for a wedding shower and a baby shower. Open a page and a word is already on the card. Hand the drawer the phone, start the round, and tap +1 on the end card. The deck remembers what you have played, so nobody draws the same word twice in a night. The full list is printed under the cards, ready to cut into slips.
