A bit easier than scrabble but still very challenging, and when you play with kids it's very educational. It works even if you're bilingual and you can turn the "w" into another character. It's a fast game and fun.

I got this for my kids as a stocking stuffer. We are big Scrabble fans. Unfortunately, the rules of the game are unclear and we just made them up as we went along. Besides, how many more 4 letter words can think of??!! We have'nt played since Chritmas.

I'm not sure why this game has received so many good reviews. It doesn't really fit into any niche. Serious Scrabble players will hate this game. And for people who instead want a quick and very fun game, there are so, so many better options. Instead, I would recommend games such as No Thanks!, Coloretto, For Sale, Slide 5, Bohnanza, Lost Cities, etc. All of these games are available online here at Amazon, but you won't see them in your local Wal-Mart. Give some real games a try.

I like the concept of the game and so did my friends (after a couple of rounds). We found the game to be a manic free-for-all, which was a welcome change from other games that require strategy or that are turn-based. My biggest complaint about the game is that the cards are not really built to withstand the abuse they get from being slammed down. Our cards, after just a few uses, are already showing wear and tear.

I love playing Scrabble and when the new SLAM came out I immediately purchased it. You can only play with 4 cards to spell 4 letter words, the dire3ctions are confusing, and overall not nearly as much fun as I thought it should be. This game would be great for young kids learning to spell but for adult entertainment on Card Night, I'll pass

Love the game. It was "THE" game to play Kwanzaa week by friends and family. Got pretty competitive "slammin" the cards. Purchased more for gifts.

This is a fun game. I believe you need to be able to spell at least 4 letter words to play. We had 3 people and the game moves very quickly. It is fun and somewhat educational.

I love this game. Being a scrabble fan, this game is easy and quicker than a board game. Probably wouldn't have purchased the Deluxe version. The only difference is a holder for the four cards versus laying them down on the table. Received this product much sooner than I thought.

If you enjoy word games, you will like this. We modified the rules a little so our special needs daughter can enjoy it too. Not sure paying the deluxe version price is worth it. Seems like alot to pay for a plastic tray that just keeps the cards in place.

Somehow I got the impression from the commercials that this game was fun for adults like normal Scrabble. It is not. It is for kids, do not buy it if you are an adult and want an intellectually stimulating game. It is probably great if you have kids though.
