About Catchphrase
In this game, each player has a common phrase, which the other players try to guess. You get clues about the phrase by spinning a spinner, and following the directions, which can include things like how many words are in the phrase, how many letters in a word, or what letters might make up the word. You track the answers on a board with spots for how many letters, what letters, etc. Not to be confused with the party game, Catch Phrase!.
