Description
Backwords is a hilarious party game that's all about reading between the lines, literally. First published in 1988, this classic game has been bringing laughter and excitement to groups of friends and family for decades. Designed by Robert Fuhrer, Mark Setteducati, and David Fuhrer, Backwords is a cooperative game that's incredibly easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. The rules can be explained in no time, and before you know it, you'll be immersed in a world of reversed words and silly antics. The goal of the game is simple: be the first player to figure out the words that your teammates are reading off the cards, which are, of course, spelled backwards. As you move around the board, you'll work together with your team to decipher these mysterious words, all while trying to outdo your opponents. With three to eight players, the game is perfect for larger groups, and the simultaneous action selection mechanic adds an extra layer of excitement and challenge. The fact that it's a team-based game means you'll need to work together and communicate effectively to succeed, which can lead to some pretty funny moments. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Backwords is the perfect addition to any game night or party. It's a great way to break the ice and get everyone laughing and engaged. As a humor-filled word game, it's sure to appeal to fans of wordplay and puzzles, and the cooperative gameplay makes it a great choice for groups who want to work together towards a common goal. So gather your friends, get ready to think backwards, and experience the silly fun of Backwords for yourself.
