Make-a-Word Card Game is "a fun game of building words!". Description from the box: "A fast-paced game of word building fun. Words change quickly as players play a beginning sound card or a word family card. The first person to play all his cards wins." In the game, each player is dealt a hand of five cards showing either a single letter as the start of a word or a two-letter combination as the end of a word. The remaining cards are placed in a draw pile. The first card of the draw pile is turned over, and the first player must then place a word start card before it if it is a word ending or an ending word if it is a starting card. If the player cannot make a word, he or she must draw a card, and must then either play it if possible or end his/her turn. Play then proceeds around the table, with each player trying to play either a starting or ending card on top of a card already showing in order to make a new word. The first player to empty his or her hand wins.
