The Rule Maker chooses 3 or 4 attribute blocks that do NOT fit the rule on the card, then places the blocks on the sheet labeled These do NOT fit the rule.

The other players are the “Guessers.” The Guessers take turns. Each one chooses a block that he or she thinks might fit the rule.

The Rule Maker tells each Guesser Yes or No. The Guesser puts the block on the correct sheet. The Guesser suggests what the rule might be. The Rule Maker tells the Guesser if his or her rule is correct.

The Guessers continue until someone figures out the rule. That player is the winner and becomes the Rule Maker for the next round.
