Welcome to Second Thoughts!
Are you ready to test your skills under pressure? Second Thoughts is a fun game that the whole family can enjoy. It’s perfect for players of all ages, so everyone can get in on the action!
In this game, each team has to come up with words using the letters rolled on the colorful dice. The challenge is to create these words quickly because time is ticking! The other team has to guess the words within the same amount of time. The more creative and witty your words are, the better!
Getting Set Up
Before we begin, let’s get everything ready. Each team will need a word slate, a timer, and a marker. Choose a pawn that represents your team and place it on the starting point of the board. The board should be placed in the center of the teams. Once you’re all set up, it’s time to start the game!
GAMEPLAY
So, here’s how it all goes down: We start with five dice, and we take turns rolling them. Who does the honor? Well, that’s up to us to decide. Each die has letters written on it, and we match those letters to the square on our word slate. Easy-peasy, right?
But wait, there’s more! We flip the sand timers to let everyone know that time is running out. And boy, do we need to think fast! Our mission is to come up with five words, one for each letter, that fit the spaces on our word slate. We’ve got to be quick because once the sand timers run out, we have to stop, no matter how many words we’ve come up with.
Now, things get interesting. We switch boards with the other team. It’s time for some real teamwork! One player on our team gets the board while the other player has no idea what words are written on it. The clock is ticking again. The player with the words on the board has to act them out, like a super-fast game of charades, to help their teammate guess the words. Talk about adrenaline rush!
Even though they can’t speak or mouth the words, they can still have a blast playing a guessing game! The team that guesses the most words or finishes first gets to move their game piece one step forward on the game board. They’re getting closer to being crowned the champions!
The Exciting Conclusion
The game comes to an end when a team’s game piece reaches the final spot on the board. The first team to reach the end is declared the ultimate winner!
