Play begins with a judge, known as the “Card Czar”, choosing a black question card from the top of the deck and showing it to all players. Each player holds a hand of ten white answer cards at the beginning of each round, and passes a card to the Card Czar, face-down, representing their answer to the question on the card. The card czar determines which answer card(s) are funniest in the context of the question card. The player who submitted the chosen card(s) is given the question card to represent an “Awesome Point.” The player with the most Awesome Points is the winner.
