To play Hot Words, you'll need a group of friends, a timer, and a list of 'hot' words that are off-limits. Divide into teams. One team chooses a word from the list that the other team must guess. The catch? The team giving clues can't use the 'hot' words listed with the word they selected. If they do, they lose a turn. Use the timer to set a limit for each round. The team with the most points after all words have been guessed wins!
