Say The Word!, the great new game from Peaceable Kingdom is a
hoot and a half! This cooperative game is for three people or more and can
really be played with children as young as three years + as well as
being a great adult game.
The purpose of
the game is to remember the story as it progresses with each turn and each new
word that every player adds to the lineup. First you pick a character card- this will be the star of your
story. Then you pick a word.We picked the pizza delivery man, and in this case we got “ripe” as our first word. So I said "the pizza delivery man came to our
door with our ripe tomato sauce pizza”. Oh yeah I made it complicated off the
bat. After everyone saw the word I laid
it face down next to the character card.
Next up my husband picked a new word card so he said “The pizza delivery
man came to our door with our ripe tomato sauce pizza before he fell into
quicksand” then placed the card face down. Getting the picture now? After every turn one
person writes down the word that was picked on an included dry erase
board. Your goal is to get to at least ten words without forgetting the words
and story that each person is helping to spin.
Everyone gets a guess coin, that gives them one chance to get a hint
before losing the game for everyone. You
can even throw in a challenge card that will add even more complications (like
a story line) into the mix! I am telling you this game is loads of fun.
