Gameplay in Brief:
In Electronic Catchphrase (or Catch Phrase), you're trying to get your teammates to say a particular word or phrase -- fast. Because if the buzzer goes off while it's your turn, the other team scores a point. Players are divided into two teams, seated in a circle with alternating team members. The first player starts the electronic timer, then passes the handheld unit after he gets his team to guess the first word or phrase. The timer provides built-in tension, and I always have a good time playing Electronic Catchphrase.
