Eretz Ir (categories)
Eretz Ir for the whole room: each round a letter is drawn, you fill in seven categories with words that start with it, vote on the answers, and the highest score wins.
How to start
- In a game room: tap "New table" and choose Eretz Ir. In a regular room, whoever manages the game starts it.
- Whoever opens the game picks the number of rounds and the time to fill in (details below).
- Anyone in the room joins by filling in answers.
How to play
- Each round a Hebrew letter is drawn, without repeating a letter. The letters ט, ע, צ and ק are never drawn.
- Fill in: Country, City, Animal, Plant, Object, Name and Job. Your answers are saved as you type.
- The first to fill in everything taps "Stop!", and the others have 5 seconds left. The server checks that the answers really are complete.
- Then 45 seconds to vote: tap someone else's answer to reject it. An answer that does not start with the letter is rejected automatically, and so is an answer that more than half of the other participants rejected.
- Points per category: 15 if you are the only one who answered in it, 10 for a unique answer, 5 for an answer identical to someone else's, 0 for a rejected one.
How the game ends
