In one version, the player wins points by yelling one or more of the following expressions: Center, Colors, Corners (in the target foreign language), or TENG-A-RENG. One or more phrases (except TENG-A-RENG) may be yelled once per player per round. The player with the most points at the end of a set of rounds wins the game. In the second version of play, players win TENG-A-RENG tokens by yelling one or more of the expressions named in the first version. However, these expressions may be yelled only once per round per group of players. The player with the most TENG-A-RENG tokens at the end of a set of rounds wins the game.
