About the game

Speed Letters, the game of words that are worth their weight in gold. Start Speed Letters by giving each player an alphabet of 26 letter cards to stack face down in front of them. Then show everyone the first word on a Treasure card, e.g. SCARLET, and hide it in the chest. "3, 2, 1, Go! "Everyone goes through their alphabet and puts letters that are part of that word in the chest, saying them out loud! Act quickly, because the right letters will be rewarded with pearls, nuggets and rubies... but above all, listen carefully, to avoid placing too many letters that will cost you gems! The game is played in 5 rounds, with increasingly longer words. Who will win the most treasures?
