Gameplay
Each game can be played with two to six players. Each player take turns being the Reader. In every round, the Reader picks a card and reads the beginning of a proverb aloud. The other players write down the beginning along with a convincing ending to the proverb. The Reader copies the actual ending and collects the made-up endings. The papers are shuffled and then read aloud twice. Players vote on the one they think is the authentic proverb.
