Blurble

Blurble

In Blurble, you need to think quickly — and obliquely — to grab more cards than any other player. Each round, the active player takes a stack of face-down image cards and holds a duel with each other player in the game. The player flips over a card between themselves and the player to their left, and whoever first yells out a word that starts with the same letter as the image shown on the card wins that card. Proper names are not allowed. For instance, if the card shows a dog, words such as "drain" or "dairy" would be acceptable, whereas "David" or "Denmark" would not. After this duel, the active player duels with the next player in clockwise order until they've faced all of the players at the table. The game can last multiple rounds or to a predetermined point total.

Poetry for Neanderthals

Poetry for Neanderthals

Poetry for Neanderthals is a competitive word-guessing game where you can only give clues by speaking in single syllables. So, instead of saying "broccoli," you'd say something like "green thing you eat for live long and have good health." If you mess up and use a big word, such as "vegetable," you get bopped on the head with a NO !Stick and you lose points. The goal of the game is to score the most points by correctly interpreting words and phrases. The chosen Poet starts off the game with a Poetry Card and tries to get their teammates to say the listed word, using only words with one syllable within a 90-second time limit. The team with the most points is the winner. Contents: 220 cards 1 inflatable NO! Stick 1 sand timer 2 point slates

Scrabble Flash

Scrabble Flash

Description from the publisher: The object of Scrabble Flash is to slide, swap and shuffle the five electronic tiles to create as many three-, four- or five-letter words as possible in sixty seconds. This fast-paced word-building game uses "SmartLink Technology," which allows the five electronic tiles included in the game to "talk" to each other. When the Scrabble Flash tiles are lined up to create a new word, the tiles will light up and beep. Scrabble Flash tiles also keep time and score. This groundbreaking technology allows players to compete individually against the game and try to earn the highest score possible. Three unique games can be played with Scrabble Flash. In the "Flash" game, players try to find as many three- to five-letter words as possible using the letters shown on the tiles. Five seconds are added to the play clock for every five-letter word formed. "Five Letter Flash" has players rushing to find the one five-letter word that uses the letters shown on the tiles. The game continues if the correct word is unscrambled. Play Scrabble Flash with a group in "Pass Flash" where players take turns forming five-letter words. Game 1: Scrabble Flash is a solo game that allows you to play 3, 4, or 5 letter words. Game 2: Scrabble Five-Letter Flash is a solo game that only lets you play 5 letter words. Game 3: Scrabble Pass Flash is a multi-player game that only lets you play 5 letter words.
