About the game
Haste Worte is a party/word game from Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling. Each turn players have 30 seconds to write as many answers for the category or question that round. After 30 seconds expire, players must bid on how many unique answers they have on their list. Bids are revealed simultaneously with players having the lowest bids reading their answers first. Any answer already named gets crossed of a players list before they get a chance to take their turn. Players score points equal to their bids if they make it and the first one around the board wins. In 2003 Spielzeit published a version of the game without a board. The board is built using the backs of some of the cards.
