Among the pleasures to be had with this exceptionally fun game is that one need be neither a gifted wordsmith nor a brainiac to compete handily against those who are! Each round, a different Category Card dictates the nature of what constitutes an acceptable answer (e.g., Cartoon Characters, Ice Cream Flavors, Movie Stars, etc.), upon which players take turns racing against the timer to give their answer and collect letter tiles from the table that spell it. If some of the letters for your word have already been taken, take only those available, but the points earned are limited to those you collect. Scoring big therefore becomes increasingly challenging as the round progresses and fewer letter tiles remain. Other delightful features spicing up the fun include beginner and advanced-level category cards, letters that score bonus points, challenge flags to be thrown in response to questionable answers, and more! Includes 26 Letter Tiles, 200 Categories, 12 Challenge Flags, Scorepad, and Timer!
