This educational yet entertaining word game appealed to our testers aged 8 to 88! Shake the 3 letter cubes inside the cup, slam it down to close in on 3 letters, and call out a word using those 3 letters before passing it on to the next player. Can’t come up with a word? You’re out of that round. It’s as simple as that. But you can be creative and expand on the game. Add a letter to lengthen the rounds and to expand word options. Or have a timer and each person writes down as many words as possible using the 3 letters. This game is easy to understand and play right out of the package. The cup mechanism is ingenious as it is lightweight and exceptionally portable, so you can take the fun literally anywhere. There is no mess, no batteries, and no losing pieces. Testers said they enjoyed playing as teams when you have a larger group. Parents felt the price of $14.99 was more than reasonable. Slam Words is thought-provoking, imaginative, and educational and does a nice job of subtly promoting vocabulary and language. This game will be played repeatedly and will make a great addition to any family’s game collection.
