The player in the Hot Seat gets 5 seconds to give three answers. If you say three answers before the ball reaches the bottom, you get one point. Keep the card in front of you to keep up with points. 

If the player in the Hot Seat is not able to give three answers, they don’t receive any points. The player to the right gets 5 seconds to give three answers to the same question. The new player in the Hot Seat is unable to use any previously used answers. If no players in the group can answer the question, the first player earns a point by default. 

After the rounds are done, players will then tally up their points. The player with the most points wins the game.
