About this game
Word on the Street turns Scattergories into a physical tug-of-war. Seventeen consonant tiles sit in a row down the middle of the board, and when your team calls out a word from the category on a card, you drag every matching letter one space toward your side for each time it appears in your word. Pull a letter far enough and it falls off the board into your pile for good. It rewards fast thinking and clever word choice just as much as vocabulary, since picking a word packed with letters already leaning your way is half the strategy. Loud, quick and endlessly re-playable, it is one of those party games that turns into a shouting match in the best way.
