UnWord Game

A single, or multiplayer word game that challenges players to find as many words as possible using the letters of a single word in just 60 seconds.

Here’s How It Works: Before the game begins, all players will need a sheet of paper and a pencil. To start the game, an elected player, also known as the co-host, will pull an UnWord Card (either red or blue) displaying both a word and number. The co-host will read the given word aloud, and move the pawn from start to the number of spaces on the card (e.g.) if the number is 4, the co-host will move 4 places from start. If there are any instructions on the tile, the co-host will read them aloud, before starting the 60 second timer. Once the timer starts, the round has begun! Each player has 60 seconds to create as many words as possible using the letters in the given word. For example, if the given word is UNDERSTANDING, players may use: tan, run, tears, sing… Once the timer is up, the co-host will announce that the round is over and each player will add up their score. If a player is still writing after the timer has ended and the co-host announces the round is over, the player(s) will receive a 10-point penalty and must deduct 10 points from their score. The player with the highest score at the end of the round becomes the co-host for the next round. Players will repeat these steps until reaching the “Finish” tile. At that point, all players will add up their scores from each round and the player with the highest score is the winner of the game! Players must keep track of
their points for each round! Players do not get points for misspelled or unacceptable words.
