How can I play this round based? Everytime I choose round based and want to play it with a friend it shows up as real time game

You cant. This was disabled because of publisher request.

This has been fun so far! I would love an option to make the difficult words worth more points, because as it stands there is no motivation to choose the harder words. My suggest would be that the first three are worth 1, the second three are worth 2, and the last three are worth 3.

Already rejected by the publisher. The motivation to play hard word is easy though : harder word are usually way more fun !
I honestly never play by keeping track of the score, that's really not the point of this game IMHO.

If we follow your logic, and if you do want to motivate people, points will help for sure. It doesnt matter whether you care about points or not. It's not about you, its about those who will be motivated by points.

I had the same experience! And I was not playing in the same groups as you

Except that I share this opinion with the publisher, and they are the one that decide. They dont want concept to be competitive, so keeping scores is actually not good for that. We even considered to not have scores at all (veterans will recall this was a game option at some point), but since the original rulebook states that as standard, we decided to go with it

Can we get an option to lock the difficulty of word choices then? Its basically two different games, guessing frog versus guessing "beat around the bush". Its hard to justify queuing into the game when a substantial portion of games are people listing animals of a particular color or whatever, and people who want a really light game are often just giving up when someone tries a multifaceted clue.

Also there aren't enough cards to support the kind of playtime games get on bga.

I will have to try this. I've been interested in this before. Thanks for being such awesome boardgame site.
