Woord voor Woord (NL) - Card game

Woord voor Woord (NL)

In Word for Word, players cooperate in a word game where the goal is to place twelve word cards correctly around a circle. One player secretly views the numeric position of a card and gives a hint word—then the others must guess where that card belongs.

Key Features:

• Cooperative word game: players work together, not against each other

• Word circle with positions: cards are assigned numeric values (e.g. 0/100, 33, 66) and words must be placed in between

• Hint giver role: one player gives a word hint based on the hidden position

• Limited mistakes allowed: each wrong placement costs a life token

• Optional sand timer: adds extra time pressure if desired

• Adjustable difficulty: can increase challenge with tougher words or extra constraints

• Short playtime (~15 mins), for 2–12 players, ages ~8+
