The 10 year old commented that this would be a good game for kids to help them learn how to spell and learn new words.
The pictures are wonderfully detailed and offer many word options, but our last letters seemed to often repeat-most common were R, E, S, W, N, which makes it easy to fall into a pattern of using the same words. It seemed that we were missing out on some of the fun of the game, so we talked about other variations, such no consecutive identical words or no repeat words during the hand, or only words that had at least a certain number of letters.
We are big fans of Spot It, and the similarities to that game were noted by each person who joined the game. Lots of fun, lots of potential for creativity, easy to adapt to different learning levels.
The premise of the game is simple. Dealer deals 5 cards for each player, then places the deck in the middle of the table with a picture facing up. Then the dealer calls out a word from that picture. The players have to spell the word (mentally or out loud), figure out its last letter and then find a word on one of their cards that begins with the last letter of the last word called. It seems easy --and sometimes it is (until someone say "cloudy" and you're tasked with finding a yarn, a yam, a yolk or a Yugoslavian in one of your pictures. Yes: yellow would be easy enough to find, but --sometimes-- we establish a rule against color names. Sometimes, we make it a "verbs only" (or "nouns only" etc) game. The player who gets rid of their cards first wins. Sometimes, the game's over in a few minutes; other times it takes half an hour.
I've used this game with my kids for foreign language practice as well. I've used it to play a game of story telling where the players choose a random card out of the deck and have to make up a story about it. I've used it to "reset" the mood during a sleepover that was going through a social rough patch (it worked) and my twins have spontaneously called for a round of Last Letter to settle an argument between the two of them that may have otherwise ended on a less enlightened "how come YOU get to decide where we're going?" whiny note (made me proud!). I'm sure others have played similar games with this random deck of cards --which speaks both to the potential of open-ended play as well as to the ability a of good toy to get a hold of people's imaginations and make fun happen.
The cards themselves are hilarious: detailed, colorful and delightfully bizarre. They have a certain heft when picked up as a deck and they are printed on thick card stock that both invites and survives play.
I'm difficult to please when choosing games and toys (mostly because I think the toy should inspire play as opposed to the toy being the play) but I recommend this game with no reservations. In the perfect world, there is one copy in every elementary school classroom, too.
One last note: I could not have predicted that this would turn out to be my son's favorite game. I suspected my daughter would like it, but her vocabulary is more expansive than my son's. He would rather do spatial puzzles, math, mazes or Legos than play Scrabble or retell a story, yet he chooses to play this game when we have 15 odd minutes and looking for something to do. He came in second in his room's spelling bee and I think this game helped him tremendously since he's neither a naturally strong speller nor the student who put an a lot of effort into studying for the bee.
