About this game
Master Word puts one player in the secret-keeping seat as the Guide, quietly holding a word the rest of you need to uncover together. Every round, the Seekers each scribble a one-word or short-phrase clue they hope points toward the answer, and the Guide responds only with tokens showing how many clues were on the right track, never which ones. It's Mastermind crossed with party deduction: you're reading your teammates' half-guesses as much as chasing the word itself, and everyone wins or loses together by round seven. Quick, quiet and cleverer than it first looks.
