(More customer reviews)I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting games. This game is much more fun and fast paced than I thought it was going to be.
The object of the game is to be the last person to shout out a answer in order to move around the board. Each person has a subject card, these subjects range from "All about parks" to "Things in a video store" to "Vegetables" and so on. At the beginning of each turn, a letter card is turned over. If the letter is "C" for example, each person tries to come up with an answer that both matches their own subject card as well as the letter. Players race to put their card down and give an answer first and then hit the timer. Whichever subject card is played, now everyone tries to match that criteria after the timer goes off. Now, the timer has been rigged to go off at different intervals, however each interval is very short, between 10-30 seconds a turn. Whoever can get the last answer in before the timer goes off moves ahead on the board. There is also a "jump start" where if everyone looks stumped on their original subject cards someone can hit the timer and call out "jump start" and see if they can stump the other players. If nobody can come up with an answer before the timer goes off, the person who initiated the jump start will move forward 2 spaces.
It's a fast paced game that keeps you thinking and seeing how fast your brain can come up with answers of the fly, which makes it both a great party game as well as a educational game. One of the best parts about the game is that it can be played with as few as 2 people. This for me is a huge plus! It seems like nearly all my games require 4 players anymore, so this is a fun one to pull out with smaller crowds. They also include instructions for team play if you are playing with children, large groups or people that just aren't that great at thinking on their feet.
Final Verdict: A great game that can easily be added to anyone's game collection, young, old or anywhere in between.

It's a race to have the final say! In Last Word, there are over 200 Subject Cards with topics ranging from "Cartoon Characters" and "Breeds of Dogs" to "Items Used in the Summer" and "Vegetables." Each player draws one Subject Card and keeps it hidden from the rest of the players. Any player turns over the top Letter Card, and then the race is on! All players must try to come up with a word that starts with that letter and fits the category of the Subject Card in their hand. For example, if the Letter Card is C, the player holding the Vegetables Subject Card will play it and shout Carrot! Once the first Subject Card has been played, the timer starts and all players must try to name words that fit the same letter and category. Players continue saying words until time runs out, and the player who says the Last Word before the buzzer sounds, wins that round and advances one space on the game board. But beware - the timer has been cleverly programmed to go off at random intervals, so you never know when the buzzer will sound! It's a hilarious game that will have you shouting, laughing, stammering and babbling in a race to have the final say! Game comes with Playing Boards, 230 Subject Cards, 56 Letter Cards, eight Colored Pawns, eight Trade-In Pieces, Electronic Random Timer, and Game Instructions. For 2 to 8 Players. Measures 10.5" x 7.87" x 2.63".
