About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for some serious laughs and a memory challenge with Time's Up! Deluxe, the 10th-anniversary edition of this beloved party game! This edition combines the best cards from the original and its expansions, plus new ones, and now features a handy electronic timer to amp up the fun. The goal is straightforward: form teams and have your teammates guess as many famous names as possible in just 30 seconds. The twist? The rules change each round! In the first, almost any kind of clue is allowed. In the second, you're limited to just one word per clue, but gestures and sounds are fair game. The third round is all about silent acting: no words allowed, just pure performance! Time's Up! Deluxe is perfect for parties and gatherings, accommodating 4 to 18 players (best played in pairs). And for those seeking an extra challenge, there are rules for an odd number of players and an optional bonus round. If you enjoy games that blend acting, creative communication, and loads of group fun, this one's for you!
