Buffalo Games: Last Word Review & Giveaway

**This product was received free in exchange for an honest review.**




About the Company and Game:
Making Life More Fun and Rewarding Since 1986
What began in a small office in north Buffalo is today the premier manufacturing facility for jigsaw puzzles and party games in North America.  Operating in more than 87,000 square feet in Buffalo, New York, Buffalo Games continues to redefine what it means to make life more fun and rewarding.

Last Word is the uproarious race to have the final say! This party game has sold over 1,000,000 copies and is perfect for everyone ages 14 and up. Each round, blurt out answers while racing a timer and the other players. For example, Subject: “Animals”, Letter: “L”. Players yell out… Lion! Lemur! Leech! Leopard! The player with the Last Word before the timer sounds advances toward Finish. Beware – the timer is cleverly programmed to go off at random intervals. Contents include Game Boards, 230 Subject and 56 Letter cards, 8 Pawns, an Electronic Random Timer (two AAA batteries not included) and Rules. Last Word is for 2-8 players.

Our Thoughts:
This game is a laugh a minute, or whenever the timer goes off! You think you have the answers, but when you're timed with no warning of a buzzer, your brain turns to mush! Laughter gets in the way a lot of hearing someones words, and no one is sure who gets to go next!
We did make a house rule on how to play though. You're supposed to "slap" down the card, and whoever gets there first gets to use their topic card. We just changed that to whoever got the last word got to lay their topic card down. Slowed the confusion, made for no arguments, and actually made play more fun. Since it was the last word that got to play next it made you want the last word even more!
I was so excited to get this game, and it didn't disappoint! I give it a 4 out of 5 stars!
