How it plays

• 1Four cases appear. Three share something. One doesn’t.
• 2The room says which — and, out loud, why — before anything is revealed.
• 3One point for the right pick. A second if the reason matches the actual rule.

Why it works: spotting that something is different is easy. Naming the rule that makes it different is the actual skill — the gap between “that one looks out of place” and “that one is a vegetable, and the other three are fruit”. Every wrong option here has a real reason someone might pick it, so the room has to argue rather than eliminate.

Set up

Sets are dealt in a different order every game, and none repeats until the pool runs out. The second point is yours to award — ask for the reason before you reveal, then decide whether it matched.
