25 Words or Less is a fast-paced team and word-association party game where players bid against each other to give the fewest number of clues.
How to Play
Players: 4 to 99 players divided into two teams.
Objective: The first team to collect 10 cards wins the game.
Bidding Phase: One clue-giver from each team looks at a card containing five secret words. They bid against each other, starting at 25, to see who can get their team to guess all five words using the lowest number of clues.
The Challenge: The lowest bidder gets one minute (timed by a sand timer) to speak their clues aloud and help their teammates guess all five words.
Scoring: If the team successfully guesses all five words within the time limit and without breaking any clue rules, they keep the card. If they fail, the opposing team wins the card.
Game Details
Playtime: 20 to 35 minutes.
Ages: 10 and up.
Published By: Originally designed by Bruce Sterten and published by companies like Hasbro, Parker Brothers, Winning Moves Games, and The Op Games.
TV Adaptation: The board game inspired a syndicated television game show hosted by Meredith Vieira.
