- Play Time: 45 mins
Like Articulate, except rather than being free to say almost anything, clue givers can only communicate via a restrictive deck of word cards. Awards clever word choice and synchronisation between teammates. Contains adult humour!
Good for:
Adults looking for a bit of grown-up humour.
Description from the publisher:
"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 banana?" "Yes, the answer is banana! One point for the Blue Team!"
In the communication game Word Slam, two teams compete against one another simultaneously. In each round, one player on each team tries to get their teammates to guess a hidden word or phrase using only the 105 explanatory cards available in the box. Speaking and acting is forbidden! They must tell their stories using only 105 cards, each with one word on it: a noun, verb, adjective, or preposition. A player can use as many explanatory cards as desired, and whichever team guesses correctly first scores a point. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!
Word Slam Midnight features the same gameplay as the original Word Slam in a compact format. This version includes 210 story word cards and 100 answer cards, with a total of 600 answer terms in four difficulty levels, .
