  • New from US Games Systems

    Flashwordz is an exciting, two-sided word game that delivers double action and lightning-fast fun. Colorful cards have letters and point values on both sides. To start the game, players place six cards on their card racks. Players create words with four or more letters by combining letters from their own card racks with at least one letter from another player’s rack. Sounds easy, but players have to think fast, as the timer only gives you seven seconds. If time runs out, it becomes a “Flash Round” — an exciting free-for-all where anyone can jump in. The first player to shout out a word and grab the Flash Round Token, gets an extra turn to play a word. At the end of the game, players add up their points and subtract any cards remaining in their card racks
