About this game

Tapple straps a ticking clock to the alphabet: pick a category, and everyone races to blurt out a word that starts with a letter still standing on the wheel. Slap your letter, pass it on, and watch the easy answers vanish turn by turn until you are stuck defending "xylophone" under pressure. Categories range from painless to genuinely mean, and the wheel itself makes the tension physical instead of abstract. Collect three category wins and you take the game. Loud, fast and stupidly addictive, it is the kind of game that turns a dinner table into a shouting match in the best way.
