About this game

Two letter tiles appear when one player slides the top of a plastic device back and forth (the device resembles a credit card imprint machine). The first player to shout out a word of five letters or more that starts with the first letter and ends with the second wins the tiles. Whoever wins the most tiles wins the game. Many other variations are included in the rules. 2002 Mensa Select

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
