Overview
Cards have a theme (お題, "odai") on the front and a letter (文字, "moji") on the back.
Playing the Game
Flip a card. The first player to answer with a word that combines the theme and the letter wins the card.
Wrong answers are allowed! Answer boldly and call out enthusiastically.
After a correct answer, flip the next card.
If no one can come up with an answer after thinking for a while, leave the letter card in play and flip another card. The letters then accumulate, so there will be two or more letters in play.
When there are two or more letters in play, you may answer for any of them. If one answer fits more than one letter, you may answer for all of those letters.
End of the Game
The game ends when the last card of the draw pile has been flipped.
Each card shows a point value in its upper right corner. The player whose cards have the highest total of points wins.
Playing Again
Shuffle the cards well before the next game to create new combinations of themes and letters.
Optional Variants
These are suggestions; add your own rules as you like.
- When playing again with the same people, try not to use the same words you used before.
- A reader adds to the excitement, like a quiz show. When flipping a card, read it aloud, for example: "A cold thing [ko]!"
- The reader is at a disadvantage, so it is best for a player who is good at Word Sniper to take that role.
- Play with many different people. You will meet words you would never have thought of yourself.
