Word A Round is a fun, simple, yet challenging word game for friends and families. The mechanics is very simple: Read the word with its letters written continuously around a card. But don’t be fooled by its simplicity. Your brains will go topsy-turvy with this Word A Round.
It’s a speed game. You need to quickly say the words written in the card. Try it yourself using one of the cards below. What is the word written in the Black Ring? How about in the Red Ring? How about in the Blue Ring?
Want more? The Word A Round Game has 100 cards with 3 words per card. That’s 300 words to make your brain go dizzy!
We like that the Word A Round game is great for big groups. As many as 10 people can play the game. Probably even more. But we find 6 or 8 is just right to make sure everyone see the cards on the table.
It’s a fast and easy game. The mechanics are simple to follow. Everyone will be ready to play in less than 5 minutes. Check out the video below to learn how to play Word A Round.
Finally, we like that the cards are small and compact. It fits easy in a bag so we can bring it along when during overnights, gatherings and meet ups.
However, we find the Word A Round game by ThinkFun appropriate for older kids. The game itself is rated for ages 10 to adults. The words used are long and difficult for early readers. Players need strong reading skills and even an advanced vocabulary to make a good score.
Despite having 300 words, it gets easier the second time you play the game. The cards and words will become familiar. Someone who played the game several times will have an unfair advantage.
But overall, we recommend Word A Round game for families with older kids. It is challenging and fun.
Word A Round Game is available at the Gaming Library for 1,000 PHP and in Amazon.com.
