A Kid's Review

This review is from: Webster's Word Sweep (Toy)

I'll tell you why Word Sweep is such a great game. It is exciting and it makes everyone want to find the word for the definition. My class and I played for no homework. It was close and very fun. Word Sweep is a great class and family game. I hope my teacher lets us play again soon.

This is a challenging and fun game. It gets everyone thinking. I played with 2 grandchildren and their mother. Each of us tried to think [silently] of everyone else's words, no matter whose turn it was. That and the addition of the great interest in making the trip around the board, preferably first, made for intense enthusiasm.

This game is more fun if you have at least 3 players. Younger players (9 and below) will have a hard time competing, even if they are using the younger rules. It's a little bit of a challenge to remember the three definitions...writing them down is kind of time consuming.
We had a good time playing the game, but it's not one that we would pull out of the cabinet first.
