40 family words for the impostor game
Use relatives and kinship terms to build clues about relationships and generations. Describe the term without naming someone at the table or sharing private details.
Use the list for a paper round
Someone sitting out chooses one prompt in secret. They write it on one slip per player, except for a slip marked “Impostor.” Fold, shuffle and deal. Give clues, vote and offer a caught impostor one final guess. Read the full impostor rules for the complete round.
40 prompts to copy or print
Original Spanish prompts are kept where the card has no English gloss. Supplied glosses appear as written and may be definitions. Pick one wording everyone understands and use it on each secret-word card. Select the list to copy it, or use your browser's print option.
