The word is familiar. The four words you need most are off limits. Desi Chaat brings South Asian food, films, people, places and everyday phrases to the same table for a fast, loud guessing game.

How to play

Split into teams. In each 60-second turn, give clues to the main word without saying any of its four “don’t say” words. Correct answers score +1; skips and rule breaks score −1. Acting or singing is allowed only when the printed symbol permits it. Then use the last correctly guessed card for a 10-second translation round, earning +1 per correct translation. Give teams equal turns; the highest score wins.
