The Original TAPPLE Board Game — Fast, Fun & Perfect for Game Night
If your family loves games that are easy to learn, wildly competitive, and full of laughter, The Original TAPPLE deserves a permanent spot on your game shelf. This is one of those games that instantly becomes a favorite.
The Game
The Original TAPPLE by USAOPOLY is a high-energy word game where players race against the clock to name answers that fit a category — before time runs out and the buzzer sounds.
It’s educational without feeling like school, fast without being stressful, and competitive in the best way. Every round is different, and every group plays it a little differently — which keeps it fun no matter how many times it hits the table.
How To Play
A category is called out, the timer starts, and players take turns shouting answers that fit the category. Each answer must start with a different letter, and the game continues until someone freezes, repeats a letter, or runs out of time. Then… BUZZ! 😆
