Word Limit

Word Limit is now an app. Check it out!

A card with six words is visible for everyone to see. You and your opponent are the clue-givers. You are racing to give a single-word clue that indicates one of those words to the other players. Only one clue is given - whoever is first to give the clue claims the chance to earn a point. But don't be too fast: your first thought might fit more than one word on the Word Card, and there is only one guess for the correct answer. Also, the given clue must obey a Word Limit: a small restriction on the form of the clue word, limiting what the clue-givers are even allowed to say in the first place.

In this game, you have to consider these multiple dynamics, which change for every clue you give.

Original description circa 2016: It's like codenames, it's like taboo, but ever so slightly different.

A card with six semi-related words is drawn for everyone to see. A few players take charge as clue-givers and compete to win the round. A word limitation card is drawn, restricting what the clue givers can say. One of the six words is chosen randomly, and the clue givers race to give a clue that indicates the word, while not being confused with the other words, and all the while only using words that fit the limitation! What zany, silly fun! Okay honestly I haven't even played this yet but I'm sure it'll be fun.
