About this game

A game about association that appeals both to kids and adults. From picture cards showing situations or categories (e.g. shopping, fruit ...) you pick those you associate words with a given letter with. If S is drawn, you may e.g. pick the "fruit" card, because you associate "strawberry". You put the card in front of you, bottom-up. However, as all players act simultaneously, you have to be fast. When one player has picked six pictures, scoring starts. You have to turn over the topmost card of your stack and immediately say what you associated. After you took turns doing so, whoever has the highest remaining number of cards gets 2 points, those with the second highest number of cards get 1 point. After 6 turns the player with the highest score wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 8.
• 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 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
