In Task Team, two teams go head-to-head over a task while the third referees.
Play with three people or three teams for even more fun!

Aim of the Game
Be the first team to win seven madcap tasks.

Setup
Split into three teams. There must be at least one player in each team.
There does not have to be the same number of players in each team.
Shuffle the cards and create a pile: This will form the deck.
Keep the equipment within easy reach.

Playing the Game
During each round, two teams go head-to-head over the same task
while the third team acts as the Referee.
The first task will be deciding which two teams will go first: Rock paper scissors, arm wrestling, catch – you decide – we don’t want to know!

The Referee team draws a card and reads it aloud.
This tells the players:

How long they have to do the task: 1 sand timer, 2 sand timers, or no time limit.
The number of players required per team: 1 player, 2 players, or the whole team.
The equipment needed.
The task itself.

When everyone is ready, the Referee team starts the countdown by saying: “Ready? Task Team!”
The two participating teams then madly scramble to win the task.
The team who wins the task gets the card and puts it in front of them.
After each task, the teams swap roles for the next round:

The team who won the previous task stays in the competition.
The team who refereed the last task plays the winning team.
The losing team becomes the Referee.

End of the Game
The first team to win seven Task cards is declared the winner.

Notes
The Referee team’s decisions are final.
If a task ends in a draw, draw another card to decide the winner.
Before each task, the team members decide together who is taking part in the task. Make sure that everyone gets an equal chance to take part.
