Get ready for a hilarious and fast-paced challenge in Word Slam: Family, where teams race against time to guess words or phrases using only a deck of explanatory cards! In this exciting communication game, players can't speak or act out clues—they must rely solely on the cards, which feature nouns, verbs, adjectives, and prepositions. Can you guess the hidden word using just the right combination of cards? It’s a fun, creative test of teamwork and quick thinking!
Two teams compete simultaneously in each round. One player on each team uses the 105 explanatory cards to help their teammates guess the word or phrase, while the other team tries to do the same. The first team to guess correctly wins a point. The team with the most points at the end of the game is the winner.
Word Slam: Family keeps the same thrilling gameplay as the original Word Slam, but with a more compact format. Featuring 100 story word cards and 100 answer cards (with 600 answer terms), this version includes seven distinct categories to keep the game fresh and exciting. A fun twist in Word Slam: Family is the use of an app instead of a die and timer, offering a smooth, modern experience. The two box halves are used as screens between the teams, ensuring a fair and engaging competition.
This version can be played as a standalone game or as an expansion to the base game, making it a versatile addition to your family game night. Whether you're playing with friends, family, or kids aged 10 and up, Word Slam: Family promises hours of fun and laughter!
"EAT, YELLOW, CIRCLE — do you mean pancakes? Or pineapple rings? Oh wait, the CIRCLE is DIVIDED? So something that you eat that is yellow and semicircular? Uh, is it, maybe…a banana?" "Yes, the answer is banana! One point for the Blue Team!"
