Read the full game description
Slingz is a real-time word game built from double-sided letter and theme cards. Deal five letters to each player, reveal a category, and race to call a valid answer beginning with one of the letters in your hand. Only the quickest accepted answers clear cards, and the third played letter flips to introduce the next theme. The first player to empty a hand wins the round, making vocabulary, flexibility, and split-second timing more important than long-term planning.
