Read the full game description

In Keepers each player takes a turn as Curator, choosing one (can’t be a noun!) word to describe a card in their hand and announcing it. All players including the Curator then play a card that they think aligns the most, or the least, with that word, they are shuffled and placed face up to a numbered slot in middle of the table. All players then vote and the cards that get the most votes either way is a “Keeper” and earns the owner one point! Through clever word use by giving great clues one Curator will rise to the top and claim the most Keepers! All artwork in Keepers has been hand selected from Byron Jorjorian’s portfolio of over 600,000 images of the natural world. —description from the publisher
