We really enjoy playing this game. The cards we have had are perfect and easy to do. Your mind still goes blank after a couple of turns.

The game was fun, but there’s no instructions for what happens if you cannot clear all of the tiles. Overall my husband and I had alot of fun

WORD WIPEOUT BY GRAY MATTERS GAMES is an absolute blast. Just my husband and I played this game together, and we had a great time. In fact, we were having so much fun, the dog made it clear he didn’t like being left out of the fun. (He’s a strange dog, anyway.)First, it is fast to learn. There aren’t a lot of complex rules. There is a buzzer that keeps the game going constantly, at a frantic, but not unreasonable, pace. When one player’s turn finishes he hits the timer/buzzer. It resets for 25 seconds and transitions straight from one player to the next. There is no downtime off the buzzer, unless someone goes over time. In this way, six players could each take a turn in a total of 150 seconds. Not many games move that fast.The clever part of the game is really the categories on the cards. Each card has an easier side and an advanced side. The player who goes first starts the round by picking a card. He alone determines what side of the card will be in play for the round. Each game consists of six rounds.The cards are varied, and some will have topics you know little about, and there will be others you might know quite well. For example, the category might be “name a song with a color in the title.” When it’s your turn, you’ll have to come up with a song title that matches the category. It’s the kind of game you could play, even without any kind of accessories or buzzer. But it makes you think. After a while, you start realizing how many songs have at least one color in their title. Other people will come up with ones you never even thought of, even though you knew the song.It’s just fun. I really like this game. It comes with 200 cards. Each card has two categories on it. Each round of the game only takes one side of one card. So, there’s a lot of to play with here. It should last you a good long while. And if you run out of cards, you can always think of your own categories like “sugary breakfast cereals .” The possibilities are endless. You could even personalize the categories to match, depending upon the interests the players.Each round ends when players either run out of matches to the category, or all 26 letters of the alphabet have been pulled off the board. When no players can come up with a match that uses the letters that are left on the board, the points are tallied. The total points each player is awarded, is based on how many letters they collected during the round. Since every letter can only be collected once, the person who starts each round has an advantage. That advantage changes to a new player with every new round.This is a fun game. It’s not hard to think of ways to modify it, that might make it more fun for you, or your particular group . The concept is solid, and I recommend it.Have Fun!

Pulled this out for the fam tonight and played through the basic variation of the game. The questions were for a wide variety of knowledge so if you didn’t know a lot of answers for one, you were likely to know them for others. It’s not a terribly long game - maybe a half hour to do the seven rounds. We weren’t real clear on the directions for ending a round after everyone had passed once and the next player came up with an answer. We decided to just end the rounds when everybody had passed or couldn’t play. Overall, a pretty okay game.

Nicely packaged, no damage noticed. We played a variation of this game so far (there are a lot of instructions and we wanted to just get a quick feel for it, it seems really fun and cannot wait to play with the whole family.
