It's Your Move was a Canadian charades game show where two teams of two contestants bid against each other as to how much time it will take to act out and convey a phrase.

Gameplay

To start, two players come up and the host shows them a phrase and a starting time. Then the two players will bid on how low the time they want it to be. The player who won the bidding will be acting the phrase out in the time they bid. If the team in control can get the phrase before times runs out, they win the phrase. But if they can't, the opponents win the phrase. The first team to win three phrases wins the game and a choice of three prizes which are hidden behind the phrases they won. The prizes are either a cash prize of up to $250, a dinner for two, or a merchandise prize. The team chooses a phrase based on the last word in it (shown on their board) and wins the prize behind it. The first team to win two out of three games wins the match. Any team who wins five matches will also win a grand prize trip.
