Product Overview

Scattergories: Portable Slap-Jack Inspired Card Game is a fast-paced categories game where players race to slap the "I Know" card when they can match a revealed letter with a category. When a letter and category are flipped (for example, "C" and "Desserts"), the first player to slap the card and give a correct answer (like "Cake") collects the cards. The game ends when either the letter deck or category deck runs out, and the player who has collected the most cards wins.

  • Players compete simultaneously to be first with correct answers, combining quick thinking with physical reflexes in this fast think categories game
  • Penalty system adds strategic risk: if a player slaps the "I Know" card but gives an incorrect answer, they must return one of their previously won cards to the middle of the pile
  • Portable card game format brings the categories challenge anywhere without the need for a game board or timer
  • Simple slap-and-answer mechanic makes gameplay easy to learn while keeping competition intense as players race to match letters with categories
WARNING:
CHOKING HAZARD
Small parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
