Description

Literówka is a fast-paced word game that's all about thinking on your feet and being quick with a pen. Designed for 2 to 6 players, this real-time game is perfect for parties or casual gatherings with friends. The rules are simple to learn, so you can dive right in and start playing - it's a great option for a fun night in that won't take all evening, with playtime lasting around 30 to 50 minutes. Here's how it works: players roll six dice, each showing a letter, and then have to come up with six words that start with those letters, all fitting a specific category. The twist is that the first player to finish writing down their words flips a 17-second timer, putting pressure on everyone else to hurry up. When the timer runs out, players compare their lists and eliminate any words that appear on multiple lists. The remaining words are worth points, and the first player to reach the end of the score track wins. With its unique blend of wordplay, time pressure, and competitive spirit, Literówka is a thrilling game that's sure to keep you on the edge of your seat. Published in 2020, this base game is a great addition to any board game collection, and its simple rules make it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels.
