Preparation 

Dueto Nomen is a game that trains lexical readiness.
The round tiles contain letters and the rectangular tiles contain categories.
The letter tiles are shuffled and placed face down in a pile in front of the players. The category cards are also mixed together.
and spread out, face down on the game table.

How to play 

The game consists of the classic search for the largest possible number of words with the same initial letter, that belong to a certain category, through an original and exciting challenge for two players (or two teams). 

The player, on his turn, turns over a category card and a letter tile. The letter for this round will be the same color as the back of the letter tile on top of the stack.
Starting with the player whose turn it is to play and within a maximum time of 7 seconds, each competitor, alternately, must say a word that has the selected initial letter and that belongs to the removed category.
Once the word is said, the game passes to the opponent, who must do the same thing, but cannot repeat a word said previously, by him or by his opponent. 

The first player who fails to find a valid word (or says a wrong or irrelevant word) loses; the other player, the winner, wins the category card. The game continues in the same way as the remaining rounds (alternating the player who starts the round).

End of the game

Whoever first gets 5 category cards (or more, depending on the players' taste) wins the game!

If the joker card (card with the smiley face) is drawn from among the category cards, the theme is chosen as desired by the player who removed it.
