Race against a strict timer, shout out matching words based on dual-sided letter and color cards, and coordinate with your team to dump your hands before time runs out.
Walkie Talkie (published by Devir) is a fast-paced, cooperative party card game focused on quick thinking and verbal communication. Players hold a hand of cards featuring letters on one side and colors on the other, forbidden from rearranging them. The primary gameplay objective centers on real-time cooperative matching and card-shedding: when the timer starts, all players shout out words simultaneously to match a letter card to a color pile (naming something that starts with that letter matching the visible color) or a color card to a letter pile (naming something of that color starting with the visible letter).
The primary mechanical hurdle stems from the relentless 30-second-per-player time limit and strict communication constraints. Players must manage special tactical calls like shouting "Roger!" to flip everyone's hand cards (turning letters into colors and vice versa) or "Over!" to pass hands down the line. Designed for 2 to 8 players aged 8 and up, a breathless cooperative session plays out in about 15 minutes. To maximize your score, you must avoid repeating words, think at lightning speed, and coordinate seamlessly under pressure.
