## What is Only Words?

Have you ever sat around a campfire with friends and challenged each other to name as many items in a category as possible...80's movies, songs with the word "love" in the title, brands of cereal?

This is your chance to play this game against others out there in the world:
-- Play the "Turns" mode where each person gets their own time to provide an answer.  Player lose if they can't think of an answer or they get voted out.
-- Play the "Speed" mode where everyone answers at the same time.  Each starts with 3 lives.  The slowest person to answer loses 1 life.

Either way, the last person standing wins.

If someone enters a bogus answer, anyone can trigger the challenge to have the whole group vote for or against.  This is how we keep it self regulating.

Sit on the couch, get your favorite drink, relax, and test your memory while brainstorming words....

## Key features

- Turn-based gameplay
- Speed mode with lives
- Player voting for bogus answers
- Global multiplayer challenges
- Memory and brainstorming tests
