Acidic? Dangerous ? Annoying? A car saleswoman! Edible? Fast ? Flexible ? Captain America - or an ostrich? In Platypus, players work together to gradually eliminate bad words to find and identify the "platypus" using their adjective cards. To begin, eight common words or proper nouns - the 'platypus' cards - are placed face up in front of all the players. The guides know the card that the explorers must guess, and to help the explorers, they give clues in the form of adjective cards that best define the platypus for them.
Each guide has a hand of four clue cards, and after each new clue, the explorers must eliminate one or two cards that they feel do not match what is defined by the clues. If the explorers eliminate the platypus, everyone loses; however, if they succeed four times, the platypus is left alone and everyone wins.
