25 Words or Less (USA-PA142-738)
25 Words or Less is a team word game from The Op for 4 or more players, ages 10+, that plays in about 30 minutes.
How it plays
Split into two teams. The clue-giver on each team looks at a card with five secret answers and the two clue-givers bid on how few words they'll need to get their team to say all five, starting at 25.
The lowest bidder takes the card and has to beat the challenge using only words (no sounds or gestures) before time runs out.
