About this game

A deck of cards is split equally between the players. On each card are 4 one-syllable (French) words, one on each edge. The players must combine these short words to create two-syllable words by placing two cards next to each other. Spelling does not matter, only pronunciation is considered. Whoever finds a word first is allowed to turn over the next card of their pile. The winner is the first player to have placed all their cards.

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 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
