intro: |
  Each round, a dial appears with two opposites, like **Cold ↔ Hot**. The **clue-giver** secretly sees where
  the target sits on the dial and types a short clue (up to 5 words), something that sits at that spot.
  The **guesser** turns the dial to where they think the target is, then locks in.

  Example: target near "Hot" → clue "a fresh cup of coffee". Target in the middle → "a bath you forgot about".

  Wide scoring bands. 6 rounds. Two keys to win. No talking during a round, just the clue!
dial:
  rounds: 6
  range: [0, 100]
  targetMargin: 5           # hidden target is a random integer from 5 to 95
  scoring:                  # distance from target → points (first band that fits)
    - { within: 5, points: 4 }
    - { within: 10, points: 3 }
    - { within: 15, points: 2 }
    - { within: 20, points: 1 }
