These rules work for the Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto boxes. You do not need an account—or this screen—to play.

  1. Separate the blue and white cards.

    Make two face-down piles. Every player takes five white answer cards.

  2. Nominate the first judge.

    Choose one player, or appoint whoever billed the most hours that week.

  3. Read blue. Play white.

    The judge reveals and reads the top blue card, saying “blank” for every blank. Every non-judge plays one white card.

  4. Read every combination.

    The judge reads each completed phrase aloud. Classless pleading is expressly permitted.

  5. Award 400 hours and rotate.

    The winner takes back only their winning white card and leaves it face up. Other played white cards stay out. First to five face-up white cards wins.

That is the whole brief.If a card prompts debate, the Managing Partner’s ruling is final.Read the complete rules
