Familiar words, shared references and plenty to talk about. The Desi Chaat Punjabi Pack brings 360 prompts from Punjabi language and culture to the table, with English clues that help everyone join in.

Players: 4+ players for team play, with at least two on each team.

What’s in the box: 90 cards with 360 prompts in a tuck box. A timer, cowbell and scorepad are not included.

How to play

Split into two teams. Give clues to the main word without saying its four “don’t say” words during a 60-second turn. Correct answers score +1; skips and rule breaks score −1. Acting or singing is allowed only when the printed symbol permits it. Follow with a 10-second translation round using the last correctly guessed card, earning +1 per correct translation. Give teams equal turns; the highest score wins. You can play without the main Desi Chaat box: use your own phone timer, verbal rule checks, and paper and pen for scoring. Two people can also play casually without scores.

Sample prompts: Butter Chicken, Giddha and Diljit Dosanjh.
