HOW TO PLAY!

In Word Explosion, everyone is dealt a hand of 10 cards. You’ll play them by matching letters, continuing the alphabet, spelling words, or using an action card. Whoever empties their hand first, wins!  But beware of having your last card challenged – UH OH…

 

There are two game modes. FORWARD and REVERSE. All games will begin in the FORWARD mode.  The game will switch into the REVERSE mode when the Game Reverse Action Card is played. If the Game Reverse Action Card is played in REVERSE mode the game will switch back to FORWARD mode. 

 

FORWARD MODE

Starting with the player sitting to the left of the dealer, each player takes a single turn, and then play passes to their left.

ON YOUR TURN, YOU MUST EITHER: 

MATCH THE LETTER

 

CONTINUE THE ALPHABET

 

 

SPELL A WORD

 

 

OR USE AN ACTION CARD

 

 

IF NO CARDS CAN BE PLAYED, DRAW FROM THE DECK UNTIL ONE CAN. 

 

REVERSE MODE

If the game is in REVERSE mode, play passes to the RIGHT after you take your turn.

 ON YOUR TURN, YOU MUST EITHER:

MATCH THE LETTER

 

CONTINUE THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS

 

SPELL A WORD BACKWARDS

 

USE AN ACTION CARD

 

IF NO CARDS CAN BE PLAYED, DRAW FROM THE DECK UNTIL ONE CAN.
