Topic

In the real-time party game Topic_, whoever ends up with the fewest cards in front of them at the end of the game wins.

To set up, shuffle the proper number of cards based on the player count, then place the deck face down in the middle of the table. Reveal one card so that everyone can see the themes depicted on this card, as well as the category and the number on the card on the top of the deck. The category indicates which theme to use this round. All players now compete to call out a word that fits the chosen theme that has as many syllables as the number showing on the deck. When all but one player has called out an appropriate word, the remaining player takes the card lying on the table, then a new round begins.
