Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Here's a competitive 'write & wipe' game the whole family will enjoy. No need for tiles.Players select game cards that suggest words to jot down on the board. Players write them down, and erase their opponent's words ' causing them to lose points. It's a great way to bring family or friends together for a round of fast action fun.

Product Description

This is totally unlike any other word game you've ever played. Roll the electronic roll-a-timer to find out what to do -- add 2 letters, erase another player's word and replace with your own, or pick a card. The electronic roll-a-timer tells you what to do and beeps when the time is up. Players write words directly onto the write-on wipe-off board using erasable colored pens. Players score points for the length of their words and for crossing special scoring squares. Players lose points when another player erases their word and substitutes one of theirs. Jot! is a fast-paced, write-on wipe-off, and competitive word game. Includes gameboard, electronic timer, four erasable markers, instructions, game cards, score card and eraser. Requires 2 LR44 batteries, included.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Interesting, November 29, 2006

My wife, sister-in-law and I enjoyed playing this game. We found it uniquely challenging and a refreshing change of pace from Scrabble. At first appearance, it appears that it would be quite simple to play this, given you are allowed to create your own words, however, after a few turns, the board starts filling up and it becomes more and more challenging to accomplish your assigned task. A great learning tool for kids and fun for adults. I'd give it five stars, but the markers and eraser are of extremely poor quality. A trip to Office Max for some quality dry markers is a must, as well as a paper towel for erasing.

This review is from: Jot! Game (Toy)

This game was not as much fun as I envisioned. I enjoy Scrabble, Scrabulous on line, UpWords, BuyWord, and other of this type game, some more than others. I have some trouble finding folks who want to play this type game though. I thought this would be fun and more interesting, but it's been more frustrating. The markers (as mentioned) were not good, I appreciate the suggestion of buying some (why didn't I think of that). I thought the eraser was some errant packing material! It's white foam and not shown on the picture. The timer is a great concept, but also difficult to use. It is supposed to start when you roll, but often needs to be smacked.

The concept of the game is good. It does get interesting to try to fit your words as the game progresses. The scoring is reasonable and pretty straightforward. Perhaps with better quality and more enthusiastic opponents this would be more fun!
