The newest release from tabletop game creator Exploding Kittens is A Little Wordy, a two-player time-based word game that puts a twist on unscrambling letter games. The strategic game isn't about having the biggest vocabulary but making smart choices, as players take turns trying to decipher each other's Secret Word. Players will buy clues and hints with berry tokens, and the player who is left with the most berry tokens at the end is declared the winner.
The game includes two dry-erase shields and markers to go with them, and A Little Wordy can also be played as a two-team game for more variety. The game for players ages seven and up means that players may opt for smaller, more common words, rather than long strings of letters.
