Presto! Presto!

A ring is a ring is jewelry is gold

Quick, quick, find words fast! Find words for images!

63 picture tiles are spread out face-down, you should use seven tiles to form a row in correct alphabetical order of the pictures.

You grab – always with one hand only – one picture tile at a time. If you can use it you add it to your row; if not, you put it back face-down. The rules for adding a picture to your row are: You must add pictures from left to right, you cannot relocate pictures once they have been placed and you cannot insert a picture between pictures already placed.

Images on the tiles are up for interpretation, a ring can be a ring, jewelry, gem, gold, wedding ring or engagement ring; a duck can be a duck, a water fowl, a bird or a Beijing Duck, depending on the letter you need. It is also possible to use the same first letter twice; in this case the second letter in the word decides on the order. If you are first to achieve a correct row of images, you stop the round and score seven points if you are correct, but none at all if there is a mistake. All other players score the number of correct tiles up to the first mistake.

As a variant you can play in descending alphabetical order or – without alphabetical order – arrange 10 tiles with different first letters or again seven tiles in which no letter of the previous word can appear in the next one. You can choose a variant in each rounds, and after four rounds you win with most points.

Presto! Presto! Is a cute and challenging variant of word association mechanisms, with demands on your vocabulary, but still a good family game.
