In Your Word, players create fictional words from card fragments to fit a theme sentence each round. You complete the sentence with your made-up word and try to impress the judge with creativity and flair. Every player gets to be the judge once, and points are awarded for the best entries. The game thrives on imagination and humor in groups of 4 to 8 players.
