Frequently asked questions

What are the banned words?

The default four: wedding, bride, dress and ring — at a bridal shower, these are nearly impossible to avoid.

What if someone loses all their rings?

They keep playing as a hunter — ringless guests are the most dangerous players.

Do we need actual rings?

Play rings, clothespins or ribbon loops all work; the tracker handles the scoring either way.
