Speed Matching

You race to match patterns or symbols faster than everyone else — quick eyes and quick hands win!

About This Game

A row of five cards is dealt out, some of which contain constraints like "only 1 of this letter" or "alphabetically earliest letter in the word". Players then race to think of a word that fits the cards dealt. When the 15-card deck is exhausted, whoever called the most words wins the game.
