Word Slam Midnight

About this board game

Word Slam Midnight is a communication game for 3–99 players, with a playing time of about 45 minutes. Two teams compete simultaneously to make their teammates guess hidden words or phrases using only explanatory cards.

In each round, one player from each team becomes the storyteller. Speaking and acting are forbidden, so every clue must be built from cards showing a single noun, verb, adjective, or preposition. Players may use as many cards as they want, combining them to create a story or description that points toward the answer.

As both teams work at the same time, their teammates race to identify the hidden term. The first team to guess correctly scores a point, and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

• 210 story word cards for constructing clues
• 100 answer cards featuring 600 answer terms
• Four difficulty levels for the answer terms
• An app replacing the die and timer
• Box halves used as screens between the teams

Word Slam Midnight presents the same core gameplay as the original Word Slam in a compact format. Instead of card holders, the two halves of the box create a screen, while answer cards are played behind the screens.

The game can be played as a standalone experience or used as an expansion to the base game. With simultaneous team play, open-ended card combinations, and a race to guess first, Word Slam Midnight turns simple words into fast, inventive communication challenges.
