Word Wipeout: Easy to Learn Family Games for 2 to 6 Players | Fast-Paced Spelling Word Game for Family Game Nights | Fun Game for Adults & Kids 8 Years and up

This is one of our favorite games for the holidays!! We played for hours but you must learn know how to spell the words that you call out or you will lose some points. I highly recommend!!!!

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.

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!

Great game for families with varying ages. Our family had fun from the adolescents through the grandparents.

What a blast!! A gathering of a mix of people with completely different philosophies and histories is an amazing time to break this game out. Everyone had fun, whether win, lose or make an a-- of themselves! There are no huge challenges that can't be overcome by sheer determination (and alcohol). This game is good clean fun and brought all these different people together to share a night of joy with a dash of insanity. A welcome release valve for a bunch of adults who need to let loose occasionally. We're all looking forward to a rematch, and teams are already being chosen in backroom deals!It can be modified for your preference or the amount of people playing. It's really about challenging brains a bit and having fun together -- before life interferes again. I truly and highly recommend this game for everyone. Teen and above will be able to appreciate it. The spelling will preclude young kids (and some adults) from playing it properly, but it's also a way to learn how to spell...or cheat and ask Mom or Dad or the Grannies!!

I love enjoying new games. This game is really fun to play once you get the hang of it. During game nights, there are some friends that do not like word games, but they even enjoyed themselves. I do not think it will be great for someone who struggles with spelling. For younger kids, I would try to ensure they have a pretty good grasp on spelling before having them play.

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

It's a good game but it has like 500 varieties. Okay, so it only felt like it. The hardest part about this game is picking which version to play. The one we picked was about 7 seven rounds and took about 30 minutes with 4 players. I am not a good word scramble person and my spelling sucks so I lost. My oldest son and my wife fought it out!i think the only downfall to this game is all the variations. The instructions try to cover a lot and the games are similar so keeping them straight can be difficult.That said, it is a fun game that can be played with adults and teens.
