WordSpiel

 One last game to write about from my curbside finds. WordSpiel was released in 2017 by Play Monster LLC. It's a word card game for 1 to 6 players. Players start with 10 letter cards. The deck is place in the middle of the table, the first card flipped over, and the timer starts. Each player has 60 seconds to complete their turn. The first player must make a word using the flipped card as the first letter of the word. Play then passes to the next player who must use the last letter or letters (going as far back as they wish) to make a new word. The cards must be used in the order played to make the next word.

If a player runs out of time or can't make a word they must pick the top card from the deck. Before looking at it the player must decide if they will add the card to their hand or place it at the end of the played cards.  Their turn is over and play moves on to the next player, if the card was placed on the board they must use this letter to form their word. 

A round is over when a player runs out of cards . At the end of each round the cards remaining in the players hand are added up. The player with the lowest score after 5 rounds is the winner.

It's definitely a fun game for any fan of word games. It's a good learning tool for younger children and  is a Mensa recommended game. Another plus is this is a small easy to carry game that can be taken anywhere. It can be played in 30 minutes. For extra play time, simply play for more than 5 rounds.
