Congratulations to giveaway winner Sunkist Thomas!

(Much of) our family likes to play Fantasy Football every year.  There’s no money in it or anything, for us; it’s just for fun.  And it gives some of the extended family a way to “connect” throughout much of the year.

This past weekend was our draft.  It went much faster than last year (our first time drafting live, offline).  As in, it took about three hours less than last year!  This left us plenty of time to hang out and enjoy each other, doing things like trying out the new Scrabble Turbo Slam.

This contains a deck of letter cards, a smaller deck of game-changing cards, and the Slam Button with sound effects.  After someone forms a four-letter word (no, not that kind of four-letter word!) with the letter cards, you deal the remaining ones.  Then the game begins.  You race against each other to get rid of your cards by playing one card at a time on top of the existing word to change the word.  GAME might become GATE, for instance.  When the Slam Button plays its special turbo sound, each player tries to be first to slam the button, because the first one to slam the button draws one of the other cards.  These tell him to either accumulate or eliminate extra cards by either taking from or giving to other players, or discarding.

After spending about half an hour trying to figure out which sound effects were which, and muddling the game, we finally got it (mostly) figured out.  Most of us decided that we’d rather play with just the cards and not the buzzer (which is, essentially, Scrabble Slam – a card game already available).  Susan did enjoy it with the buzzer.  (We all agree, though, that the game would have been far less frustrating and far more enjoyable if they had described the sounds more clearly in the instructions.)  The game requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).

Enter to win this game, either for yourself, or as a gift.  (Way to get ready for Christmas!)   If you had this game, who would you play it with?  Leave a comment answering this question before midnight (EDT) on September 9th to be entered.  For additional, optional entries:

Then leave a separate comment for each entry, so I can count them!   The winner will be randomly selected from among all qualifying entries, and will have 48 hours to respond with contact information.  US only, please.

  6. If I had this game I’d play it with my husband or I’d bring it to my small group. Every other week we have a Game Night and this would be great!

  7. I would play this fun game with my daughter (a word wizard & very visually quick) as well as with her friends. I would be the slow one, I think! Thanks for the fun offer!
