Are you ready for fast word Fun for the whole Family? Then you've come to the right place! Introducing The Original Tapple, the award-winning, fast-paced word game that gives players a rush of excitement as they race to beat the clock! Challenge friends and family to tap letters of the portable wheel as you come up with words for various categories before the ten-second timer runs out! Just say a word, beat the timer and win!
Game Components
If you want to get familiar with a game, it's only logical to learn about the components. You have your game box, 1 portable Tapple Wheel, and 144 fun categories on 36 game cards. In our first hands-on consumer evaluation, participants repeatedly noted that the game cards were clear and easy to read. We found that players enjoyed playing the Tapple Wheel before learning the rules.
One might think the playing with the Tapple Wheel was wasting time, but we noted how, in actuality, the fascination of the wheel served to get the players all the more eager to play and remain engaged in the game. It is an ingenious concept that adds a unique approach to gameplay.
Grasping The Basics of Playing Tapple
With each round in Tapple, one player draws a topic card, then starts the timer. In the ten seconds to follow, that player must give a single word answer that fits within the topic, press down the letter key in a special electronic device that corresponds to the first letter of that word, and restart the timer. The next player must then think of a word for the topic that starts with a different letter, press down that starting letter, and restart the timer.
You can rest assured that Tapple looks so easy, but from our observation of every group of hands-on evaluation players, the game tends to create the momentum that creates plenty of laughs! Players remain fully engaed into every game with people asking for more playing time when it's time to shut down our evaluation sesions. Everyone expressed that they found the instructions were simple and the game was easy to understand to develop useful strategies.
But That Was Just the Beginning!
If a player runs out of time, they're out for the round. If only one player remains in a round, that player collects the topic card. If players manage to press down all of the letters before knocking all but one player out of a round, the players reset the device, draw a new topic card, then start the timer again, this time needing to give two answers for the topic – each starting with a different letter — within the allotted time. Whoever collects the most topic cards wins!
Tapple's STEM Contribution
Science | Technology | Engineering | Math
At first glance, Tapple is not the first thing most people think of when it comes to STEM. Nonetheless, It's important to realize that there are important guidelines in the development of a gamebeing designed. To apply those guidelines, one must attend school and leverage science, technology, engineering, and math. Each of those subjects plays an integral role in product development. Tapple can, in a sense, inspire others to develop new game design concepts of their own.
