Read full description

SEM-ANTICS is a fast-paced card game where you race to match word cards to category cards. Spot a word that fits a fill-in-the-blank? A word that belongs to a list? Slam it down before someone else does. Each round, word cards are laid out on the table and category cards fill your hand. Find three words that match one category for a Forward set (5 pts), or one word that matches three categories for a harder Reverse set (7 pts). But be careful — a bad call costs you a point. PLAY YOUR WAY • Solo Practice — Hone your matching skills against the clock • Party Mode — One host screen, everyone plays on their phones. No app install required for guests. • Online Multiplayer — Ranked and unranked play with automatic or challenge-based validation • Daily Puzzles — Four puzzles a day at increasing difficulty. Track your streak. 213 words. 86 categories. Thousands of valid matches. No two games play the same. Free to start. Unlock additional card decks to mix up the challenge. A Zellman Lab game.
