How to Play:
Divide the players into two teams, one on each side of the board. For their turn, a team pulls out a category card. They have 30 seconds to come up with any word that fits the category. It's best for the word to have as many letters as possible. Once they've agreed on a word, they must spell it out loud. Each letter used in the word brings a letter-tile one space closer to their side of the board. When a tile makes it's way off of the edge of the board, the team on that side keeps it. The opposing team can distract the playing team the whole time by saying whatever they want - trying to keep them from a successful turn.
How to Win:
The first team to bring eight letter-tiles off of the board onto their side wins the game.
