Snippets: Junior

Publication details: The Master Theorem Games Summary: Snippets is the fast paced anything goes word game! For 2 to 8 players and taking about 45 minutes, Snippets is perfect for a party or family game night. It can best be described as a combination of Scrabble and Scattergories, but unlike Scrabble, you do not need a crazy vocabulary to win, unlike Scattergories there is no ambiguity, and unlike most word games, the smartest player does not always win. A snippet is a short sequence of letters that can be found as a whole within one or more words. For example, the snippet IPP can be found in the words SNIPPETS, QUIPPED, and HIPPIE but not in SHIPSHAPE, PIPE, or HOPPING. Players have 60 seconds to write down as many words as they can think of that contain each rounds snippet. Anything goes! Dictionary words, people names, place names, brand names, fictional things, technical terms, slang, acronyms, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenations, non english words, the snippet itself, and even plurals and alternate verb tenses are all allowed! When time is up, players compare answers, earning points for unique words and fun bonuses. The player with the most points wins the round and the first to 3 rounds wins the game! With its unique anything goes rule, Snippets is not like most word games, requiring more of a creative mind than a large vocabulary. And with only 60 seconds to think, everyones answers will be equally hilarious.
