In this little box you’ll find instruction for 3 games.
ATTENTION: You can create new games from all this components!
CLASSIC RULES: Like classic games, the first one to starts is the youngest, if everyone agrees.
The sense of play is clockwise. The winner loses the right to ridicule other players while the loser wins the right to protest, but he/she can never hurt the winner in any way (physical or verbal)

DON’T FINISH THAT!
The objective is to construct a word in continuation, and not complete it.
One player starts building a word, placing the first letter.
The next player has to think of a word starting with the previous letter and place a letter at second position.
The next has to construct a word starting with the existing 2 letters and make a word, placing the third letter.
Each player tries to continue the word.
The person who completes the word loses.
When someone is unable to continue the word, they must challenge the previous player, asking him for his word. If the previous player does not have a valid word with the letters on the board, he loses. If they have a word, and the last player couldn’t continue it, the last player loses.
SAVE THE CAT
This game is played between two players/teams.
One team goes first (Team A) and thinks of a word for the other player (Team B) to guess.
They shall setup the board according to the length of the word they have in mind, and mark the vowels using ‘Yellow’ magnetic markers and the consonants using ‘Green’ ones.
Team B guesses one letter at a time. If it’s correct, Team A puts it (including repetitions) in the corresponding blank(s). If it’s incorrect they build one part of the house.
The objective is to guess the word before completing all the 8 parts of the house.
FOLLOW ME
The game needs to be played with the boards arranged in a 4x4 grid.
The players randomly select 16 letters from the box (without peeking!) and place them on the grid.
Each player searches for words that can be constructed from the letters of sequentially adjacent letters, where “adjacent” letters are those horizontally, vertically, and diagonally neighboring.
Words must be at least three letters long, may include singular and plural (or other derived forms) separately, but may not use the same letter more than once per word.
Each player records all the words he or she finds by writing on a private sheet of paper.
After the time has lapsed, all players must stop writing and the game enters the scoring phase.
In the scoring phase, each player reads off his or her list of discovered words. If two or more players wrote the same word, it is removed from all players’ lists.
For all words remaining after duplicates have been eliminated, points are awarded based on the length of the word. The winner is the player whose total score is the highest, with any ties typically broken by count of long words.
