KaBAM is a quick word-building card game in which players race to make words using the letter cards in their hands. What sets KaBAM apart from other word games is the inclusion of some really special cards containing multiple letters, such as "OU," "IT," or "NG." These really speed up the word-making process when time is of the essence. In this racing game, players have to use these multi-letter cards strategically to win.
Because it's so easy to learn the rules, the game of KaBAM really allows players of any age to easily join in. What makes KaBAM even more useful, though, is how it can become a teaching moment for spelling and word recognition skills in young, developing minds in a fun, lively manner. As players engage in spirited word-building activities, they challenge themselves not only in linguistic abilities but also in cognitive function. Hence, KaBAM is indeed both a fun and beneficial game for players both old and young.

For the seasoned word guru or for the new person on the block, KaBAM offers hours of both entertainment and intellect.
