A frantic little word game for 3-6 players designed by Mike Petty
The Hustler will call out a word. Everyone else has to slam a letter down on the table that's in that word. You don't have a letter in the word? Grab any letter as quickly as you can. If you're last to play, you might get a penalty. Grab a wrong letter, though, and you suffer a bigger penalty!
Show off your vocabulary, laugh at your friends. All this fun for only $5. Yaddy-Yadda is a word game in a class all it's own. A game takes about 20 minutes and comes with everything you need to play.
Yaddy-Yadda games have a style all their own. They are often faced-paced and frenzied compared to other word games. The main criteria I look for is that you don't need to get all the letters in your hand to spell the word you're thinking of. Here's what we have so far:
Yaddy-Yadda Haiku - This is currently my favorite Yaddy-Yadda game. Players compete to write the best poetry.
Code-Centration - This is a challenging two-player word game where players use words to get clues for each other's codes.
Names & Stuff - In this quick-thinking game players race to call out names or items that meet certain criteria.
Skeeter- Stephen Glenn, a good friend of mine, came up with the basic idea of this game. We really liked it from the start. I suggested a couple changes and here's the end product.
