The goal is to sell the idea *as if it’s new* focusing on how you would pitch it at launch, not describing its history or past success.\n\n## Objective\n\n- Pitch your assigned company or brand in a way that helps your teammates guess it quickly.\n- Do **not** say the company or brand name, trademarks, or any prohibited words.\n- Avoid **historical or retrospective descriptions** — pitch like it is launching today.\n- Watch out for **Instant Death guesses** — guessing a related but incorrect company or brand causes immediate loss for that round.\n\n\n## Key Concepts\n\n### 1. **Pitch Like It’s New**\n\n- Describe the company or brand *as if it’s brand new* on the market.\n- Avoid mentioning its past achievements, legacy, or history.\n- Example for \"The Simpsons\":\n  - ❌ “The longest-running animated show.”  \n  - ✔️ “A new animated sitcom about a dysfunctional suburban family.”\n\n### 2. **Prohibited Words and Trademarks**\n\n- Company or brand names and trademarks are **never allowed**.\n- Each card lists **prohibited words** that cannot be used in your pitch.\n- Saying any prohibited word results in losing that round.\n\n### 3. **Instant Death Guesses**\n\n- Each card includes **3 related companies or brands**.\n- Only one is the correct answer for the current round.\n- Guessing one of the other two immediately ends the round with zero points.\n\n\n### 4. **Fair Play and Integrity**\n\n- Avoid using synonyms or indirect references to prohibited words that clearly circumvent the rules (e.g., using “Washingtons” for “dollars”).\n- Pitches should rely on creative positioning and conceptual clues — not cryptic code words or slang.\n- Teams are encouraged to call out and resolve suspected rule violations with a group consensus or moderator decision.\n- The spirit of Pitchanary is honest, challenging, and fun gameplay for all participants.\n\n##  How to Play\n\n### Setup\n\n- Divide into two teams.\n- Shuffle the Pitchanary deck.\n- The game lasts **9 rounds**.\n\n### Each Round\n\n1. Draw **1 card** containing 3 companies or brands (e.g., `[\"Coke\", \"Dr Pepper\", \"Red Bull\"]`).\n2. Determine the company or brand to pitch based on the round number:\n   - Rounds 1, 4, 7 → pitch the **first** company/brand.\n   - Rounds 2, 5, 8 → pitch the **second** company/brand.\n   - Rounds 3, 6, 9 → pitch the **third** company/brand.\n3. The pitcher reads the card and delivers a pitch **without using the prohibited words or trademarks**.\n4. Teammates guess aloud:\n   - Correct guess: 1 point.\n   - Guessing one of the other two companies or brands on the card: **Instant Death**, round ends with zero points.\n5. Continue until all 9 rounds are completed.\n\n### Scoring\n\n- 1 point for each correctly guessed company or brand.\n- 0 points if prohibited words are used or an Instant Death guess occurs.\n- Maximum score is 9 points.\n\n## Strategy Tips\n\n### For Pitchers\n\n- Focus on what differentiates the company or brand from the others on the card.\n- Be creative, prospective, and concise.\n- Avoid using any jargon, generic terms, or prohibited words.\n\n### For Guessers\n\n- Think carefully and avoid risky guesses.\n- Ask teammates for clarifications to narrow down possibilities.\n- Remember which companies or brands are “Instant Death” traps this round.\n\n\n## Example\n\nPresume our card is as follows:\n- Companies/Brands: \"Tinder\", \"Hinge\", \"Bumble\"\n- Prohibited Words: swipe, match, date, app, profile\n\nGiven that:\n- Assume it's Round 2: Pitch the **second** company/brand (Hinge).\n- Guessing Tinder or Bumble causes Instant Death.\n\n\n## Ending the Game\n\n- After 9 rounds, add up the points.\n- The team with the highest score wins.\n- For ties, play a sudden death round with a special tiebreaker card.\n\n\n## Why Play?\n\nPitchanary sharpens your skills in pitching, persuasion, and strategic thinking, making it perfect for entrepreneurs, marketers, or any fun group.\n\n\n**Shuffle up and pitch carefully!**\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fday50-dev%2Fpitchanary","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fday50-dev%2Fpitchanary","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fday50-dev%2Fpitchanary/lists"}
