The game
Take a book and open a random page. Roll 1d100 (one 100-sided die) against Table 1 and get your speech defect. Now start reading the page (with your defect).
After 30 seconds roll 1d100 against Table 2 and get your accent. Continue reading including your speech defect and your accent.
After another 30 seconds roll 1d100 against Table 3, and go on reading as before but skipping the rolled vowel.
After another 30 seconds roll 1d100 against Table 4 and go on reading but also skipping the rolled consonant.
Once two minutes have passed start over from the Table 1, by adding the new speech defect, etc. (roll again if you get a number you already rolled before).
Once you make a mistake time stops. The player who read the most without errors is the winner.
If you have any doubt, please refer to our FAQ.
