About

BUT NOW

"BUT NOW" turns your TV into a social game board. One player sets the "True Rating," the others guess the modifier. How it Works: Connect to AirPlay. The TV shows the "But..." card (e.g., "...but they cluck like a chicken when they laugh"). The Host sets a rating from 1 to 10 on their phone. Everyone else tries to guess the Host's secret score!
