ワードスナイパー (Word Sniper)

ワードスナイパー (Word Sniper) is a Japanese speed word game. A deck of cards shows the start or end letters of words, and on the other side a topic or theme. The deck is shuffled and placed showing the theme side face-up. Then two cards are dealt to the table, flipped to show the characters. One letter to start the word, one to end the word. Players race to identify a word that fits the topic, and starts and ends accordingly. The first to get it right collects cards and scores points. The publisher states that the shuffling of the deck will produce a large variety of combinations, keeping the game fresh to play with very simple rules. The publisher also says you can play the game with more players than shown on the box. There were three subsequent editions published with new themes. ワードスナイパーファミリー (Word Sniper Family) - with softer themes aimed at age 5+ ワードスナイパー・イマジン (Word Sniper Imagine) - with more abstract themes to encourage imaginative answers ワードスナイパーエクストリーム (Word Sniper Extreme) - an expansion deck that adds more context to the themes, and has more letter forms on the flip side. user summary 「カードの裏表にお題と文字が書かれています。山札をめくって出た文字から始まり、山札の上に書かれているお題に合う言葉を答えるゲームです」 直感的で分かりやすい単純なルールなのでゲーム初心者でもすぐ始められます。 カードをシャッフルすればお題と文字の組み合わせが変わるのでリプレイ性も高いです。 プレイ時間も短く、推奨プレイ人数を超えた人数でもワイワイと遊ぶこともできる楽しいゲームです。 publisher's summary
