2–8 players · 40 min
A game of LAPIS consists of ten rounds. Five rounds are for people categories, and five are for place categories. For each of the two categories, there is a spinner which helps randomly select a subgroup of each category. Five cards, each with a letter on it, are then dealt face up. Each player has ninety seconds to come up with the name of a person or place which includes as many of the five letters as possible.
