One downside of this game is setup time. Not like it takes hours, but it does take a moment to lay out all the word tiles; you can't just dump out the box and jump right into gameplay. Also, the game is a bit frustrating due to the selection of words (or the lack of the words you really want to use) and because of the difficulty in finding the specific word in the rows of tiles all over the table. However, that frustration is what makes it challenging, and the challenge is what makes it fun! But it was also more fun when we switched to a 5-minute timer instead of sticking with the 3-minute timer that comes with the game.
Verdict: I wouldn't want to play this game very often, but it's fun enough that I want to keep it. Though, come to think of it, if we did play more often maybe it would be less frustrating, since eventually we would learn which words are options, and we would probably get faster at finding them on the table.
