Read the full game description

This is a word game with a twist. Players are all given a letter that starts the word. Then are other letters shown in different colors. Green letters must be used in a word, while red letters cannot be included in the word. If ever a letter appears as both green and as red, then it's the first person to slap the table that wins that round.
