Master Word

Master Word is a cooperative word-based deduction game that is definitely a blast! It's like a combination of Mastermind and 20 Questions, but with a unique twist. The gameplay is super engaging. The only downside is that it's mentally draining! My group of five can only get through three words at most in a session before we're all exhausted.

One design flaw I noticed is that the game doesn't include cloth erasers for the markers. This is a real shame since those would have been perfect for the game.

The game is definitely fun, but I'm not sure how often we'll be able to play it because of how mentally taxing it can be. However, I've had some great moments during the game where I thought my team was totally off track, but then they somehow figured out the right answer!

I watched videos of this game before I bought it, but it wasn't quite what I expected. My family just couldn't get into it. Maybe it's not for everyone.
