The first (warm up) round consists of matching the poet to their poem.
For the second round each player must answer two questions on a single quotation from a poem.
Four possible answers will appear followed by a question.
The players must share the counters in front of them over what they think is the correct answer leaving one answer clear – no conferring amongst team members.
