Splurt! (2018)

About this game

The deck consists of cards with a category on one side of each card. On the other side is a letter and a designation of the place that the letter must occupy in a word, e.g., “ending in F.” Choose as many cards as you want, stack those with category side up, and then flip the cards one at a time. The first player to name a word that meets the conditions gets the card (or cards, if a stack has formed because no one could think of answers for prior cards). Play until the deck runs out. The winner has the most cards.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 99.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
