## Description
Remember when texting was an art form and you had to press the same button multiple times to type a letter? Fat Thumbs brings that nostalgia to the table, turning those old numeric keypads into a hilarious word game. On your turn, you'll play a number card (those buttons with 3-4 letters like ABC or DEF) to build a sequence. The challenge? Coming up with words that use one letter from each card in order, just like the pre-smartphone era. Stuck? Play a Fat Thumb card (those clumsy oversized digits) to alter the sequence! And if you think someone's bluffing, call them out to earn battery points. A fast-paced, laugh-out-loud game that'll have everyone reminiscing (and suffering) about the days when 'cell phone' meant 'infinite patience'.

## FAQ
### Ideal player count?
Best with 3-4. At 2 it's more strategic, at 5 it's delightfully chaotic.

Ages 10+ if they have strong vocabulary. Teens will love the 'old phone' theme.

### Can we adjust difficulty?
Yes! Allow shorter words or give more Fat Thumbs early to make it easier.

### How long does a game take?
The 15-minute estimate is spot-on - perfect filler between heavier games.

Nope! Everything's handled with the included cards and battery tokens.

### Are proper nouns allowed?
House rules apply - normally dictionary words only, but you make the call!
