These rules work for the Calgary, Vancouver, and Toronto boxes. You do not need an account—or this screen—to play.
- Separate the blue and white cards.
Make two face-down piles. Every player takes five white answer cards.
- Nominate the first judge (the Managing Partner).
Choose one player, or appoint whoever billed the most hours that week.
- 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.
- Read every combination.
The judge reads each completed phrase aloud. Classless pleading is expressly permitted.
- Award 400 hours, refill, and rotate.
The winner keeps their white card face up. Other played white cards join the discard pile, and everyone who played draws back up to five. If the white pile runs out, shuffle the discards into a new one. The judge role then moves clockwise. First to five face-up white cards wins.
