Read My List is in beta — details may change.
A fast list game built from one deck of three card types. Some cards give you a category and a few seed items and ask you to name more; some hide the category and drip clues until you can name it; some are pure lightning rounds. Every correct call is a point, and the first chatter to hit the target score wins.

​
Gameplay

1

Read the card

Each card announces its type — LIST, CATEGORY, or LIGHTNING — and what it’s asking for.
2

Fire back

Type answers with no command. First-to-say-it claims each item; copies of a claimed answer don’t score.
3

Race to the target

Points carry across cards. The first player to reach the target score ends the session.

​
The three card types

One deck shuffles three kinds of card together, so the room never settles into a single rhythm — a naming sprint, a deduction, and a lightning round all share the same scoreboard.
Three cards labeled LIST, CATEGORY, and LIGHTNING, each showing its scoring rule
  • LIST — a category plus a few seed items. Name more things that fit; +1 each, first to say it. Copying a seed or an already-named item doesn’t count.
  • CATEGORY — the category is hidden and member clues reveal one at a time. Name the category itself; the reward tiers 3 → 1 as more clues show.
  • LIGHTNING — a subject with no seeds. Rapid-fire as many fitting items as you can; +1 each, go fast.

Gifts

Read My List’s hint gift helps on the current card, and its effect fits the card type:
  • On a LIST card, it reveals an initial for one un-named item (up to three across the card).
  • On a CATEGORY card, it cracks a letter of the hidden category.
  • On a LIGHTNING card, it triggers a short double-points surge (up to twice a card).
It’s off unless the host sets it, and it never hands over a full answer — it just tilts the current card in the room’s favor.

​
Scoring

  • Every claimed item or category is +1 (CATEGORY cards pay 3 → 1 by how many clues were showing).
  • Points accumulate across cards; the first to the target score wins, or the highest score when the deck runs out. Ties ship as co-winners.
  • Points feed the per-streamer tally behind avatar ring tiers. Wins are tracked per streamer.
