Scrabble Slam! (2-6p) (2008)

About this game

This entry is for the 2-6 player edition with 84 cards. The entry for the 2-4 player edition with 55 cards is here. In this fast-paced card game based on Scrabble, each player is dealt a hand of two-sided cards: each one has a different letter on each side, and a pair of letters in the corners that note which letters are on each face. Players create a four-letter word to start the game, then replace one letter at a time with cards from their hands. The first player to get rid of all their cards wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
