About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a battle of wits and words with Werd, a super-fast and straightforward cooperative game for two players. Each of you gets a stack of cards, and each card has four words on it. The idea is simple: one player chooses a word, says it to the other, and the other responds with another word. When you're both on the same page, you count down from three and say aloud a word you believe connects the two words spoken. If you say the same word, BAM! Three points added to your score. If not, no worries, you try again, but the points decrease with each attempt. The best part? Werd doesn't need a table; it can be played anywhere! To keep track of the score, just slide the cards behind designated point tracker cards. Want an extra challenge? Hard Mode removes the initial choice, forcing each player to pick a word without knowing their partner's selection. Werd is perfect for filling those little gaps between activities, no matter where you find yourselves!
