Read the full game description

Password Express is a simultaneous word game for two teams. Four topic cards surround a letter card, and a fifteen-second timer gives both sides a frantic window to call valid words. Tokens mark whether a word begins with, contains, or ends with the active letter, while disputed answers are settled after the rush. Across four rounds, the shifting topics and letters turn simple vocabulary into a lively contest of recall, speed, and team coordination.
