Word Nerd

Word Nerd
Top Fun
Tillywig Award Winner 2019

Missing Piece Press, LLC
$12.95
8 to adult

Word Nerd is another fabulously fun game from Missing Piece Press. Fast-moving and exhilarating, Word Nerd inspires kids to creatively spin sentences out of thin air using a word randomly determined by the combined flip of a card and roll of a die. Players earn cards worth points as long as their sentence is complete. The sentence creation portion of each round is timed, and the 'beat the clock' element adds considerably to the excitement and fun factor. Players decide if they want the game to be short and sweet or of longer duration simply by agreeing up front on the number of Word Cards that will be played. And because the 137 Word Cards are double-sided and have 6 different words per side, Word Nerd offers a whopping 1,644 words with which to play, generating exceptionally high replay value! Word Nerd includes 1 Die, 137 Word Cards, 8 Help Cards, 1 Pad of Paper, 6 Pencils, 1 Rules Sheet and 1 free Word Nerd Timer App (iOS or Android).
