About the game

What you do in a play session

Slingz is that dynamic card game that will put your mind and mouth to work faster than ever before! The idea is simple, but the execution... oh, that demands agility! Each player starts with five letter cards in hand. Then, a theme is revealed, and the race begins: you need to think of a word that fits that theme and starts with one of the letters you have. Found one? Shout the word and 'sling' (throw!) the card onto the table! The adrenaline builds because, as soon as three words are played, a new theme appears, and you need to switch gears quickly for the new challenge. The goal of the round is to be the first to get rid of your five cards. It's a game that blends the fun of party games with the tension of real-time play and the satisfaction of being the quickest on the verbal draw. Get ready for laughs, some tongue-twisters, and a lot of fun as you try to be the fastest 'slinger' at the table!
