About the Game

Word Stars is a fast-paced word deduction game for all the family. Each round involves a race to solve the mystery word using a handy hint and eight clue words to reveal each letter.

Teams aim to crack clues with creative cues to unravel the target word. There are hundreds of words, colourful counters to represent the choices, and a an attractive, dedicated score sheet to track the answers and scores.

This edition is a smaller handier version, improving on the 2004 original.
