Rules

In brief

1320 terms from diverse domains such as music, cinema, literature, geography, history, and many others have been twisted by using synonyms, antonyms and logically related words to form a new expression called a Contrario. Players will need to use their lateral thinking ability and general knowledge to outsmart their friends. Virtually all the original expressions are familiar. It's obvious . . . . . once you've got it. Each Contrario comes with two clues to nudge players in the right direction. Now, can your mind handle the twist?
