Games 100 Word Game of the Year

Shh! Everyone's thinking. "?, S, ??, L." SLUSH! Well done. Now take the three cards ?, E, ND. NEED? Wrong! Because the N and D appear on one card, they must stay together. SEND would have been okay. Your error gets everyone else a free card. Players take turns as non-scoring dealer, revealing one card at a time faceup. The first to call out a valid word takes the cards used. Each earns a point when the deck is depleted. The player with the highest score wins after everyone has been dealer. My word! Dr. Knizia is making the designers of Apple to Apples (see last year's Games 100) ripe for another great success.
