FUN FOR EVERYONE. If it is an adult board game for game night you want, the 200 advanced category cards make for challenging and entertaining adult gameplay. While the 200 beginner category cards make this the perfect family board game for kids and adults.
THE WIPEOUT BEINGS. Start by picking a category card. The first player has 25 seconds to say an answer to the category and then pick up the letter tiles that spell out their response. Players repeat rounds until all tiles are collected, or no one can play another word within the category.
WATCH OUT! FLAG ON THE PLAY. Throw a flag to call foul on your opponent’s misspelled word or an answer that falls outside the category in play. Correct flag challenges allow you to steal the tiles your opponent earned during their turn.
VICTORY! The player with the most points at the end of 7 rounds takes a much-deserved victory lap.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED. The game includes 26 Letter tiles, 200 Beginner and Advanced Category Cards, 1 Scorepad, 12 Challenge Flags, and 1 Timer. The timer requires two AAA batteries (not included).

Title: This is a great game. Fast paced, fun and easy to learn.
Review: WORD WIPEOUT BY GRAY MATTERS GAMES is an absolute blast. Just my husband and I played this game together, and we had a great time. In fact, we were having so much fun, the dog made it clear he didn’t like being left out of the fun. (He’s a strange dog, anyway.)First, it is fast to learn. There aren’t a lot of complex rules. There is a buzzer that keeps the game going constantly, at a frantic, but not unreasonable, pace. When one player’s turn finishes he hits the timer/buzzer. It resets for 25 seconds and transitions straight from one player to the next. There is no downtime off the buzzer, unless someone goes over time. In this way, six players could each take a turn in a total of 150 seconds. Not many games move that fast.The clever part of the game is really the categories on the cards. Each card has an easier side and an advanced side. The player who goes first starts the round by picking a card. He alone determines what side of the card will be in play for the round. Each game consists of six rounds.The cards are varied, and some will have topics you know little about, and there will be others you might know quite well. For example, the category might be “name a song with a color in the title.” When it’s your turn, you’ll have to come up with a song title that matches the category. It’s the kind of game you could play, even without any kind of accessories or buzzer. But it makes you think. After a while, you start realizing how many songs have at least one color in their title. Other people will come up with ones you never even thought of, even though you knew the song.It’s just fun. I really like this game. It comes with 200 cards. Each card has two categories on it. Each round of the game only takes one side of one card. So, there’s a lot of to play with here. It should last you a good long while. And if you run out of cards, you can always think of your own categories like “sugary breakfast cereals .” The possibilities are endless. You could even personalize the categories to match, depending upon the interests the players.Each round ends when players either run out of matches to the category, or all 26 letters of the alphabet have been pulled off the board. When no players can come up with a match that uses the letters that are left on the board, the points are tallied. The total points each player is awarded, is based on how many letters they collected during the round. Since every letter can only be collected once, the person who starts each round has an advantage. That advantage changes to a new player with every new round.This is a fun game. It’s not hard to think of ways to modify it, that might make it more fun for you, or your particular group . The concept is solid, and I recommend it.Have Fun!

Title: Laugh til it hurts kinda fun!!
Review: What a blast!! A gathering of a mix of people with completely different philosophies and histories is an amazing time to break this game out. Everyone had fun, whether win, lose or make an a-- of themselves! There are no huge challenges that can't be overcome by sheer determination (and alcohol). This game is good clean fun and brought all these different people together to share a night of joy with a dash of insanity. A welcome release valve for a bunch of adults who need to let loose occasionally. We're all looking forward to a rematch, and teams are already being chosen in backroom deals!It can be modified for your preference or the amount of people playing. It's really about challenging brains a bit and having fun together -- before life interferes again. I truly and highly recommend this game for everyone. Teen and above will be able to appreciate it. The spelling will preclude young kids (and some adults) from playing it properly, but it's also a way to learn how to spell...or cheat and ask Mom or Dad or the Grannies!!

Title: Fun game
Review: I love enjoying new games. This game is really fun to play once you get the hang of it. During game nights, there are some friends that do not like word games, but they even enjoyed themselves. I do not think it will be great for someone who struggles with spelling. For younger kids, I would try to ensure they have a pretty good grasp on spelling before having them play.

Title: Pretty Lackluster - First Player Advantage
Review: The first player to go in each round has a huge advantage, given that they can spell any word in the category, get all the letters therein, and leave the rest of the players with dregs. We played Saturday and got the "Netflix Series" category; "Orange is the New Black" decimated the board and everyone else was fighting over scraps. Would be nice if the number of rounds was based on the number of players or there was some other mechanism to make things fair.
