Last Word is a thrilling, fast-paced word game where players race against one another to say the last word before the random timer runs out!
How the game works: The first player flips the Letter Card and reads it aloud. Each player picks a Subject Card and thinks of a
word that starts with the letter and fits the category of their Subject Card – all while keeping their card a secret. The first player sets their Subject Card on the board and blurts out their word. They press the random timer and all players must quickly think of and say words that fit the subject and start with the letter. There are no turns! The last player to say a valid word before the timer runs out, wins the round and advances on the board. The next round begins with the next person playing their Subject Card.
Last Word comes with 56 Letter Cards including Hot Potato Cards which change some of the rules for the round, making it more difficult and exciting. The game also comes with 230 unique and interesting Subject Cards such as restaurants, things in a medicine cabinet, kitchen utensils, or things that are clear.
This game, recommended for ages 14 and up, is a challenging yet fun way for players to compete against each other, build their vocabularies and learn new words.
