Word Frenzy ... A true hit! An Award WINNER!!




This game received some skepticism from our "Game Gang", because two of the eight players in our gang are not good spellers and they were afraid this would make the game more frustrating for them, than fun ... But, they were goodsports and decided to give it a go. They were so glad they did ...

Word Frenzy is a RIOT! It is fast paced, crazy, can get loud, but so hilarious! We are considering purchasing gloves for the players next time this gang plays, however, because a couple of the players have some pretty good nails going and they gave battlescars to other players, who were trying to also grab the prizes at the end of the round... which became a battle in and of itself, making for more laughter to go around.

In this game you set up the prizes on the table, where they can be reached by all players. You then pass out the letter cards to all players. Keeping 5 cards in your hand for game play, players pick up a card from the player behind them, then discard one to the player in front of them, until one player gets the letters in hand to form a 4 LETTER WORD that pertains to the category chosen for that round. At this point the player grabs a prize, trying to not let others notice ... As other players see a prize is missing, they too grab one - until all are gone and one or more players are left with no prize. The player who first formed the word and grabbed the prize, shows his/her word to the other players. If it is indeed a word that complies, they write their word on their score sheet and collect the points displayed on the cards. The player(s) who did not get to collect a prize, must cross out one letter in the word FRENZY on their score sheet. Once a player crosses out all letters of the word FRENZY on their score sheet, the game stops and players add up their total points. The one with the highest points, wins.

Our Game Gang all agreed this game is on our TOP THREE - Must Play list !! You can't get any higher on the list with this gang !! Way to go Word Frenzy!!! We can't wait to see your Award!!!


This game can be played by 2-8 players, using one set of cards and prizes. Add an additonal set for 9-16 players. Age suggestion is 10 and up.
