Long story short, I have always played scattergories with the rule of two players can't have the same answer for say a name, and a location, my brother put "Oreo's" for "a cereal" and I put "Oreos" for "an item you'd save up for" (we're poor Oreos were a delicacy growing up grow a garden) so I said neither of us gets the point. But, everyone else is saying that example only applies to the same player, so if he had put Oreos for both, that's wrong, but if I put Oreos for one, and he did for the other, we both get a point? I was always taught that even if it's different category, two words can't be used by two different players?
