Patterned after TV's long-running "Concentration", "Match Wits" challenges knowledge, memory, and intuition on a broad front. Even better, the supply of rebus-based matching contests is close to inexhaustible.
|
|
|
|
As in the gameshow, play begins with a blank (5x6) grid and you try to locate hidden pairs specifying x,y coordinates of selected squares. So, on a sports grid, "1,1" ("Dallas") and "3,4" ("Cowboys") would be a match. The puzzle pieces at 1,1 and 3,4 are revealed and the player has a chance to enter the solution. Points are awarded for each match; but the lion's share goes to the first player or team to solve the puzzle. After three puzzles, the side with the most points wins.
|
|
|
|
Except for the unfortunate omission of x,y labeling (necessitating a good deal of square counting and a few complaints), "Match Wits" has been well-received in small group play testing. Six on-disk categories, with provisions for adding ten more of your own, add up to long lasting parlor game fun.
