This game was posted up for sale in June of 2025. It is in stock, in good condition, and looks complete but we have not yet checked it thoroughly and or rated the components as we normally do. We have not yet taken the photos either. Sorry it is convention season and we have 3 major cons to attend in a one month period!
If you decide to buy as posted now, we will of course check the condition and update you before we ship it, and you can get a full refund if you decide not to take it. We would also send you images if there is any issue with the box or contents.
In Word on the Street, players – either individually or in teams – try to claim letter tiles from the game board.
To set up the game, seventeen letter tiles (all the consonants in English other than j, q, x, and z) are placed in a strip down the center of the game board – the median strip of the street, if you will, which has two "traffic lanes" on either side of it. On a turn, one team is presented with a category such as "types of fruit" or "something a player is wearing", and that team has thirty seconds to come up with an answer in that category, then move the letters in that word toward their side of the game board. Any letters in the word that are not on the game board are skipped. If the answer were "pineapple", for example, the team would move P, N, P, P and L.
If a team moves a letter off the game board, it has claimed that letter and that tile will not move for the remainder of the game. The first team to claim eight letter tiles wins!
