GAME DESCRIPTION
Players listen to 3 definitions, and then try to guess the 3 words. The catch? The 3 words appear consecutively in a Merriam-Webster's dictionary. It's easy-to-understand and fun, yet challenging. Guess all 3 words to make a “Word Sweep” and earn a bonus! Think fast, because the timer is running and opponents are looking to steal any missed words. Correct answers move players around the board. The first player to get all the way around wins. Word Sweep features over 2,300 definitions in three difficulty levels: Everyday Words, Intermediate Words, and Challenging Words. Plus, there's "junior rules" for players as young as 10 years old. Word Sweep is a fun way for everyone to show off their word prowess!

April 12, 2007: I brought this to a holiday family dinner and we played between dinner and dessert. It was a big hit and everyone from my 8 year old daughter to my 97 year old grandmother was able to participate! My 10 year old loved it so much she brought it into school to show her teacher. I'd recommend it for families and classrooms. We even grab the cards to pass the time on long car rides.
