Product description:

Introducing Kalimaat!, the revolutionary word game where short and long term memory join forces to lead you to the winner’s circle!

This new party favorite puts two teams up against one another. It’s a two-fold battle of both common knowledge and memory. Are you able to guess which “famous Persian food is cooked on skewers” and keep that as well as the answers to nine other clues in your head until it’s time to recall them?

Guessing and keeping mental track of answers is a challenge. If you are a master of memorization, you’re fortunate. If you’re the type who needs the waiter to repeat the list of salad dressings to you just one more time-sharpen your memory skills by taking part in this fast-paced and challenging game!

HOW TO PLAY

The Clue Giver
The game is played by two teams of two players. From round to round, players take turns being the Clue Giver for their team. Each card has ten Kalimaat (words), including one Islamic and one cultural word. The Clue Giver will give clues to try to get their teammates to guess the words on the Kalimaat card.

The Clue-Giving Rounds- Silence is a Virtue
At the start of each round, the 60-second timer is flipped over. The Clue Giver then goes through each of the ten words, giving the best clues he or she can. Within that minute, players the Clue Givers teammates must listen carefully to see if they know- and remember the answers.

As the Clue Giver rattles off clues, his or her teammate cannot answer them aloud. Instead, they must toss a token into the bowl to signal they know the answer. The Clue Giver can pass on word that seems to be stumping his or her team, and can later return to it if there is time remaining.

The End of the Round- Revealing the Answers
After the 60-seconds are up or all the clues have a token (whichever comes first), the 30-second timer is brought out. Once it is flipped over, the team must try to remember the answers to the clues they knew. For each correct guess, the team gets one point recorded on the scorecard. The team has the entire 30-seconds to recall their answers.

Second Guess? Stealing Tokens!
If at the end of 30-seconds there are any unremembered or wrong answers to clues that a token was originally tossed in for, the opposing team has the chance to steal them. The timer is started again, and they have 30-seconds to make their guesses.

REVIEWS

"First of all, I have to say that Allah has blessed you with some amazing game-making skills. After you sent Kalimaat to me last week (Jazakallah for the expedited delivery again), my friends and I played it many times again and again for uninterrupted enjoyment Alhamdulillah.

It was genuinely entertaining and also led to a conversation about the muhadditheen and their criteria for accepting Hadith in their compilations etc ...I have no qualms whatsoever- maa shaa Allah, I totally understand your excitement - it's a great game :)” Shaheda P. (London, UK)

"I must say that Kalimaat! is the most fun I've had in a non-physical sport game. The fact that is exercises the memory in such an intense, exciting, highly-social way is both outrageous and remarkable at the same time. Ever since I played the first round, I've been hooked and have been anxiously awaiting for the official release of the game (no joke). It'll be a LOT of fun inshAllah! Belal Khan. (Paramus, NJ)

"Kalimat is a great family game that's fun and educational. Every Muslim family should have a game at home like this that they can play and build bonds rather than watch TV or do something unproductive." Jaweed Bari. (San Jose, CA)

“Its not your average game its tests your quickness and intellect, if you want to have fun and alot of laughs, explore Kalimaat!” Frank M. (Montreal, QC)

"Kalimaat is a great game in that it challenges you, with an urgency to use your creativity on the spot, not to just to elicit the right answers from your partner, but to also remember all the words that you've figured out. Added to it all, that everything is time-sensitive, the game creates an excitement and intensity which really brings life to a gathering. I really enjoyed playing it, and with the incorporation of Islamic terminology, what more can you really ask for in a game?" Adnan Yamani. (Irvine, CA)
