description Word Slam Overview
Word Slam is a team-based word-guessing game designed by Inka and Markus Brand and published by Kosmos. Two teams compete to make their teammates identify the same hidden answer, using separate decks of word cards to express concepts, relationships, qualities, or actions. The clue-givers build a description from the permitted cards under time pressure, so success depends on selecting combinations that communicate precisely rather than on giving unrestricted verbal clues.
