HOW TO PLAY

Top That is a fast-paced, word and name challenge game that keeps everyone thinking on their feet!
Players take turns drawing cards from two decks β€” Words That and Name That β€” and must come up with answers that fit the category before time runs out.

Each round builds on the last: every new word has to be longer (or sometimes shorter) than the one before, depending on the card effects. Add in WILD Cards for twists, reversals, and surprises, and no two games are ever the same!

THE BASICS

Draw a Card – The player on turn chooses a deck (Words That or Name That)
and reads the card aloud.

TURN STRUCTURE

1.

Beat the Clock – You have 20 seconds to give your answer before the timer runs out.

Keep It Going – The next player must say another valid word in the same category that’s one letter longer than the last.

3.

Reverse or Wild – If a reverse number or WILD Card is in play, follow its effect β€” the order or rules might flip!
