Slingz

About this board game

Slingz is a dynamic card game for 2–7 players, played in about 15 minutes, in which players race to shout answers that match changing themes.

Each player begins with a hand of five letter cards. A theme is revealed, and everyone searches for a word that fits it and starts with one of their letters.

When you have an answer, sling the matching letter card onto the table and shout out the word. The game keeps the action moving as players compete to give answers faster than ever before.

• Start with five letter cards.
• Reveal a theme and find a matching word.
• Sling the letter card while calling out the answer.
• After three words have been given, reveal a new theme.

Every new theme switches the challenge, asking players to redirect their thoughts and find fresh answers from the cards in their hands. The changing prompts create a lively flow from one theme to the next.

In Slingz, the goal is to get rid of all five of your starting letters. The first player to ditch them wins the round, making every successful answer a step toward victory.

With its simple hand of letter cards, changing themes, and shouted answers, Slingz delivers a compact word challenge for 2–7 players. Released in 2022, it fits a fast 15-minute game session.
