Pronto

Famous sight Beginning with B

The game board shows a track with four lanes. All of seven cases in the lanes carry one letter each, those seven cases carry three letters each, four times XYZ and three times CJQ. The topic cards give two topics each, a more easier one on green and a more difficult one on an orange background. You place your marker and the starting block at the start.

If you are the active player you reveal a topic card and choose a topic, another player is Guardian of Time and turns over the timer and covers it up. Now you search for words that suit the chosen topic and begin with the next available letter on the track. If you find a correct word you move onto this letter. Available letters are those reached in a move of one case sideways or forward. You can jump over occupied cases and can choose if there are several possibilities. You as active player decide when you stop your turn and reveal the timer. If it is still running, your move is valid and you move the starting block forward to your marker. If the timer has stopped you take your marker back to the starting block. The joker can be used once in the game to jump over cases or choose a new topic. There are four dark Pronto barriers as end of a lap; you move across them and can choose any of the cases behind it.

Pronto is a very nice variant in the find-a-word-with-a-given-starting-letter-and-category game, good as a family game as you can balance differences in vocabulary or age by using the team variant or by having each each group using only the topics on a green or on an orange background. The covered time is a challenging new detail for all players!
