Associate! is a racy team game suitable for parties and similar environments. It's simple to learn and great fun to play. Here's how it works:
Divide into teams and race against the clock to find the missing link between words - the more your team guesses in thirty seconds, the further round the board you go. It's a non-stop beat-the-clock battle of wits!
One member of your team reads out some of the pre-written clues, it might sound something like this: "Control", "Missile" and "Liner". Your team shouts out guesses as to what the missing word is that links those words. In this case it's "Cruise" which is linked by the phrases "cruise control", "cruise missile" and "cruise liner". You're racing against the clock to solve as many different links as you can before time runs out and your turn ends.
