Vocabulary Four-in-a-Row.

How It Plays

• The board is 25 terms from one unit. The center square is FREE and counts for both players.
• You hold three definition cards. Match one to an open term on the board and that square is yours.
• If you can match, you must. No passing to keep a square open for later.
• Match nothing? All three cards go to the bottom, draw three, turn ends.
• Four in a row wins — across, down, or diagonally. There are 28 of them on the board, and 8 run through the center.

The Card Picks the Square

A four-in-a-row board with no limit on where you can play falls apart — everyone just takes the square that blocks the other player.

In Witty the limit is in the deck. On your turn you are not asking which square you want. You are asking which of these three squares helps you most, and you have about fifteen seconds to decide.

Definitions run seven to twelve words, so three of them read fast. A table should get through at least three games in fifteen minutes.

Fox — the Second Game on the Same Board

Fold the board sheet instead of cutting it, stand it up between two players, and the same grid runs a hidden-shape game.

• Each player shades three shapes on their own grid — four squares, three squares, two squares. Connected edge to edge, never on FREE.
• The term you match is your guess at your opponent's grid.
• A hit earns a free guess at any touching square, no card needed. Keep going until you miss.
• Find all three shapes to win.

Every printed kit contains two identical board sheets, so Fox needs no second download.

Printing a Class Set

Each unit PDF prints fifteen kits, twelve pages each — one print covers a class of thirty. After that only board sheets get reprinted, and the board layouts are identical across all fifteen kits, so any two sheets in the room pair up.

Print at 100%, not "fit to page", or the sizing drifts. Fold board sheets in the middle. Never cut them.
