How to play Ideosis
Give a word as a clue to guide your partner to the right word and translation cards on a shared grid.
Setup
Draw 16 word and translation cards. The medical deck practices literal word part translations. Phones show two columns; larger screens show four. Place a double-sided Key Card in the stand; each Clue-Giver sees only their side, showing which cards are targets (Blue), placebos (Grey), or the deadly Ideosis card (Red).
Play
Give an "Idea": one word plus a number indicating how many targets it links. Your partner guesses cards one at a time. Blue = correct (continue), Grey = turn ends, Red = instant loss. Teams share a pool of 6 turns total.
Win
Both teams win cooperatively when all 9 unique Blue targets are found. Both lose if the Ideosis card is touched or turns run out.
