Description
What could these letters mean?!?
"Aardvarks Being Chill," or maybe... "Alexa, Buy a Chopper!"
Devise your wittiest, wackiest and weirdest abbreviations, acronyms and initialisms in this party game for word-loving people!
Initialisms is a creative party game featuring 100 unique letter cards, built on actual linguistic studies of English language initial letter frequencies. Each card features original art by game creator John Praw, drawing from over a decade of album cover and poster design.
The goal of Initialisms is to win the judge's favor by deciding what you think a random set of 3-6 letters could mean. This could be an initialism or abbreviation (ex. "CPU"), an acronym (ex. "NASA") or any other creative interpretation you think the judge will like.
It's up to the judge to determine what counts for the round! The winner takes the revealed letter cards as their prize. Once a player has accumulated enough letter cards, the game is over, and they win!
