Our 7 friends are in the middle of a game of PROCLAIM!  Players accumulate points and move around the 52-space board shown above by giving clues and guessing the Proclaim word.  Steven has just finished his turn as clue giver, and Kathi is now in the lead, closely followed by Matt.

It is now Matt's turn to be clue giver, and he will get up to three chances to get at least one other player to guess the Proclaim word based on his clue.  But, he wants to give a clue that will lead players to many possible answers, because he will get MORE points if FEWER people get the answer correct.  He can also get UNIQUENESS bonus points if everyone gives a different answer!

The other players can get points in a number of ways as well: 1) by guessing the correct Proclaim word, and 2) by yelling "Proclaim!" if they think they are sure of their answer.

Let's take a look at how Matt's turn plays out...
