About the game
Players attempt to be the first to move their pawn all the way around the board. Each turn a reader will read the actual definition to a word as found in a children's dictionary (so they're simple). The first player/team to correctly blurt out the word that fits the definition gets to move their pawn forward the number of spaces rolled on the die. There is no penalty for guessing incorrectly, so things tend to get a bit raucous! The player to the reader's left becomes the new reader and a new round begins. If a pawn land on certain spaces or the same space as an opponent, a "one-on-one" contest is held just between those two players with the victor getting to stay on the spot and the loser having to move back to where the trailing player started. In Blurt! The Uproarious Word Race Game, you can always catch up and no one is ever out of the game until the final BLURT! Updated content: 1,800 clues on 300 cards with rules for two levels of play.

Questions and answers
Blurt! supports 3–12 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Blurt! is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Blurt! for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Blurt! has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
