Multilingual play: the fun and the wisdom of linguistic diversity

In PISPA every player sees the other players’ cards instead of theirs. You have to compose words by revealing the letters in your hand to one another. Words are assembled by putting together other player’s letters and one of your own.

Pispa promotes linguistic diversity and esteem for vocabulary, activates memory, increases visual-mental association, gives free rein to strategy, sustains collaboration.

A deck of cards with 114 letters of the latin alphabet that will make your head swim.

Find words in scattered letters, and refresh your multilingual vocabulary with a pinch of collaboration and strategy.

Cooperative Play (2 to 5 players)
Coperate to win as a group!
The goal is to reach the number of words within the allowed time. Now the lowest
number-card defines the amount of words that the group needs to compose. Double the highest number-card: this is the allowed time. Set up a timer.
Good luck! You have from 6 to 14 minutes to achieve the group challenge!

Inventing new rules:
• Limited or unlimited. Before the start, make your own agreements: do you allow all sorts of words or do you prefer to limit the possibilities?

• Multilingual play. Decide how many languages are allowed. It’s fun to play with two languages… or more! Allowing the language diversity at the table is a unique way of playing. You only need to trust each other. Have fun learning new words!

• Level up the difficulty. Seven-letter words or longer count triple!
• The game allows many variations… share your additions with us! at info@ponsverhoog.org
