Word on the Street

Players work individually or in teams to tug letters across a central strip of tiles by giving words that fit a prompted category. Seventeen consonant tiles are arranged down the middle of the board, and each turn a category is announced; the active team has thirty seconds to supply an answer and then shifts each matching letter from that word toward their side of the street. Letters that are moved off the board become claimed and no longer move. Play continues until one side has claimed eight letter tiles.

    Includes a little version (in spanish/english) of Word on the street Jr (P&P)

    Mixed feelings on this one. I've only played this once with an adult and their vocabulary was not that great. It felt dramatically one sided...Not sure how well this would work unless both players have equal vocabularies.

    Fun word game for 2 teams. No timer for 2 players, timer for more than 2. Probably best with multiple players per team.
