How to play

Open a game and share its link
Everyone starts a poem from a word the game draws
Every round the poems move on, and you add a line seeing only the last word of the line before
The poems are read together, line by line: hearts and badges in the peaceful mode, votes and a podium in the competitive one

Choose your mode

You can choose when you open the game too; choose here, and the form opens on that mode.
