Even at a low player count, we usually feel that we’ve played enough by the 5th round.

Far out, man!

But in keeping with the beatnik theme, Poetry Slam provides a way to reward cleverness. Each round, the player designated to be Wordsmith flips a Word Prompt card and one Letter card (sometimes two cards) to create a restriction. We’re very impressed with Poetry Slam. Beatniks snap their fingers to show appreciation, and you can do the same. It’s one of just a few word-building games that do more than give you a bunch of letters to create the “best” word you can, and it’s the only one I know of that incentivizes players to reward their opponents for making a great play. So far so good. Each SLAM you receive subtracts 2 points from your final score. The guesser receives 1 point, and the poet receives 3 points (if they recited their whole poem) or 2 points (if they were interrupted before completing the poem). Poetry Slam can be played in a small group of 3, but shines at 5 players or more. That’s not a huge problem, of course. If another player guesses the word correctly, great! As soon as a player has their word written down, they grab a “speed” tile and may record their points for word length (1-4 points) and speed (1-5 points).

The biggest downside is that Poetry Slam feels just a bit too lengthy, like a houseguest that has overstayed their welcome. We mitigated this a bit by creating “player quick start packs” with zippered baggies. Overall, we’d recommend Poetry Slam to any hep cat. Podcasts, reviews, and gift guides may contain links to purchase products on Amazon.com. Unfortunately, if the poet’s word isn’t guessed, the poet receives 0 points. Every player immediately works to write down a word that fits the restriction. Continue creating words and crafting poems for a set number of rounds, depending on the player count (between 5 and 8 rounds). For example, when combined with the prompt above (Second letter is N), “Heavenly beings in the sky / With wings and harps they fly” could be “angel” or “angelic”. The whole table generally can decide that the next round will be the final, no matter what the score sheet says. We’ve found a word game that is thematic while being meaty enough for strategy gamers. While making a word, you must balance three things: On top of all that, you will still need to come up with a rhyme, and it shouldn’t be too obvious, so you can get the full 3 points for finishing the rhyme before a correct guess.
But that’s not all! Make a word quickly (to get your choice of speed tile – do you want a low number with an easy-to-avoid letter, or a riskier high number?

It’s fun for strategy gamers as well as fans of more casual word games. In some ways, it feels a lot like Scattergories (“quick, come up with a word starting with S!”), but requires a more robust strategy.

The Snap tokens prevent the game from becoming overly competitive and reminds us to appreciate the cleverness of others.
), As long as possible (to maximize “length” score), That you will be able to clue for your fellow players. Overall, we’d recommend Poetry Slam to any hep cat. In addition, the setup is burdensome, with 4 kinds of tiles to be distributed in different ways, 2 kinds of cards, plus player screens, “lost letter” boards for each player, pencils, and so on. This point difference rewards clever rhymes that take thought to figure out. Players take on the role of beatnik poets. Players may start reciting their poems as soon as they are ready. Number of Players: 3-10Age Range: 10+ (we say 12+)Playtime: 30-45 minutes. At the end of the round, players receive points in each round in 3 categories: word length (1-4 points), speed (1-5 points), and poetry (both for successful poetry and successful guesses). “tier 3”) on the other side. For about $30, there’s a lot of game in the box, and it’s great for a mixed group of adults and older kids. It’s worth +1 point for them at the end of the game – but if you have any left showing the beatnik, each will be -1 for you. “No theme,” or “too light,” they’ll say. You are no longer allowed to use that letter in future words, making Poetry Slam more difficult in successive rounds. The round continues until every player has recited their poem. We also separately bagged each of the 5 types of speed tiles, since every round needs exactly one speed tile per player, but with an even distribution of the available numbers (1-5). Those select 10-year-olds had great vocabulary and at least passable spelling, but still often struggled to either come up with a word or a rhyme. Each player must create a rhyming couplet (ie. It’s fun for strategy gamers as well as fans of more casual word games. For about $30, there’s a lot of game in the box, and it’s great for a mixed group of adults and older kids. Anything from failing to match the word prompt, to incorrect spelling, to using a “lost” letter. There’s one more way to lose points: SLAM tokens. Because of this, we would not generally recommend Poetry Slam for kids under 12. The Family Gamers received a copy of Poetry Slam from Mayday Games for this review. After the last round, tally your points and determine a winner!

You begin the game with three beatnik tokens. At any time you think a fellow poet’s poem (or created word) is particularly worthy of appreciation, flip over a token to the Snap side and give it to them.
