Pick Two! (1991)

About this game

From the box: "It's fast, it's fun, and it's always challenging! Each player draws letter tiles, building their own personal crossword as fast as they can. Whenever players use all their letters they call out "pick two!" and everyone, including that player, draws two more tiles. The Catch? These tiles must now be added to your crossword. The Best Part? You can always change your crossword by rearranging letters and even words to use up your tiles. When the center pile of tiles is gone, the first one done... wins!" Note: There is a separate page for the electronic Scrabble Speed game released in 2014.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
