This is a simple, attractive looking game that exercises key skills including verbal memory and processing speed. Every brightly colored card has a category and letter. Two cards are shown at once, one gives the category and the other the letter. Players race to be the first to call out a word that starts with that letter and fits the category. The winner collects the card. The dealer reads out the category once the card is flipped over, so there is no reading required, though students who can read faster on their own have an advantage. Categories are kid-friendly and include "object found on a beach", "book title" and "dessert." Younger children or those with weaker verbal reasoning, memory or speed will benefit from the game, but they might need to be playing with a supportive group or one-on-one with an adult. The game is open to disagreements about who said the answer first and whether or not the answer is appropriate for the category. Overall, a good, quick game that can be fun for a round or two with a broad range of players.
