📖 About This Game

'Word Hunting' (FA: اسم‌کارتیل) is a card game based on the well-known traditional pen and paper game of The Categories (DE: Stadt, Land, Fluss). The box consists of two decks of cards: The Alphabet deck, and the Subject deck. The main goal of the game is to find a word that starts with a specific letter and related to a specific subject! Word Hunting can be played in 4 different ways including a real-time version, a turn-based push your luck version, and a team-based version where one of the team members holds his breath (as teams timer!) while his partner tries to match the letters with subjects as fast as she can!
