Flip the cards. Close the number.
Estimation with no anchoring, no endless meeting and no guessing. The team plays, the table reveals, the history learns.
Ninety seconds per story
Timer on the table, cards face down, simultaneous reveal. The debate happens after the number, not before.
Nobody anchors anybody
Votes stay hidden until reveal, so the senior voice doesn't set the team's number by accident.
History that teaches
Every round becomes data. The team sees where it underestimated and calibrates the next sprint.

Call the bluff
Think someone is bluffing? Toss a chip at them and put your disagreement on record.
