Catch Phrase (Game)Catch Phrase is a word guessing party game commercially available from Hasbro. The modern version, also known as Electronic Catch Phrase is an electronic game with integrated word list, timer and scoring. The game unit has a dot-matrix LCD screen to display words, and buttons to start the timer, advance play, and assign points to teams. The game is played in two teams. The goal is to get your team to say the word displayed by any means, except for saying the word or parts of the word. One member of one team starts the timer and makes their team guess. When the team guesses correctly, the other team takes its turn. Play continues until the timer runs out. The team not holding the game when time runs out scores a point. They also have one turn to guess the word that the other team did not guess. A correct answer earns a bonus point. The first team to seven points wins. The word list contains 10,000 words, which are categorized: - Everything - all 10,000 words in the game
