It's all about making words. Whoever uses a lot of letter cards gets a lot of points. The playing surface is special about this version. Not a game board but a kind of turntable where at the start of the game only three squares are ready to place letter cards. All players are dealt 7 cards and whoever can make the best word (most points) of three letters may place their combination in the starting spaces. Whoever comes next has 60 seconds to come up with a new combination. You must create a new word by covering existing letters (ball becomes buttock) or by lengthening the word at the front or back (ball becomes beam). The turntable can be pushed open 1 space each time until the maximum of 9 letter spaces is reached. Each new word must consist of at least three letters and there must be at least 1 letter from the previous word. A word can only grow by 1 letter per turn. Fortunately, there are wild cards (for any letter) and erase cards that shorten the last word placed by placing them on the first or last letter. Rondo is a word game for experienced players. It all seems easier than it actually plays. Number of players: 2 - 6 Age: from 12 years old Game duration: approx. 45 minutes Content: - 1 card holder - 110 cards - 1 hourglass - 1 valuation pad - 1 pencil - game rules
