(More customer reviews)I bought Wordsters at a store that sells out-of-print board games. My Wednesday night game group likes it a lot. It's similar to "Pass The Bomb" only there's no bomb involved. This is from Milton Bradley who tried to cash in on the success on Scattergories with this game, similar format including the pads. This game never caught on, but it's still a lot of fun if you like word games.
A set of three letters are given like GER, STA or NUR. You most come with words of four letters or more that contain these letters in the order given. They can even be separated from each other. Adding a suffix or prefix to the word makes it a different word according to the rules. No proper nouns are allowed and have the Scrabble dictionary handy in case there's a question about spelling. You have two minutes to come up with 10 words, there's four rounds. The egg timer in this game is not as noisy as the one in Scattergories.
The original rules say you call out a word and if nobody else wrote it you score. With five or six people this became quite difficult, so I revised the rules. Players in turn call out a word on their list. If no one else wrote it, they score one point. If at least one other person wrote it, the first person who raises their hand gets credit for it, everyone else crosses it off their list. In this scenario, the person who announced the word score two points and the first person to raise their hand scores one point. In the fourth round, the points are raised, three and two points, respectively. The player with the most points after the fourth round is the winner.
Overall a good game that should've caught on, but didn't. If you like Scattergories or word games, you'll like Wordsters. It's out of print, but amazon.com and other websites have it if you want it.

Write 10 words using a Wordster a special 3 letter combination. If the Wordster is ITE, you can write BITE, KITE, ITEM, LISTEN, INTEREST or WHISTLE! Keep the letters in the Wordster together or spread them out. As long as the 3 letters are in order, these words count!You get a point for every word that you have with ITE that no one else has. If any of you have the same word, the first player to claim that word gets 2 points for it. Whoever has the highest score wins!
