Hasbro Gaming Hangman Game Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Hasbro Gaming Hangman game is a classic word-guessing game designed for two players. The objective is to correctly guess an opponent's secret word before a hangman figure is fully assembled. This manual provides detailed instructions for setting up, playing, and maintaining your game.

2. Components

Carefully unpack all items. The Hasbro Gaming Hangman game includes the following components:

• Game Unit: The main board featuring the gallows and slots for displaying letters.
• Letter Tiles: Individual letter pieces used by the guessing player.
• Word Tiles: Blank tiles used by the word-setter to create the secret word.
• Hangman Pieces: Components that form the hangman figure, added for each incorrect guess.

The image displays the Hasbro Gaming Hangman game in play, featuring three individuals. A young girl is actively engaging with the game board, which is blue, while a young boy smiles beside her. An adult woman is also visible, smiling in the background. The game box, which is red, is also shown on the right side of the image.

3. Setup

Follow these steps to prepare your Hangman game for play:

1. Place the game unit on a flat, stable surface.
2. Separate the letter tiles from the word tiles. Keep the letter tiles accessible for the guessing player.
3. Ensure all hangman pieces are ready to be assembled as needed.

4. Operating (How to Play)

The Hasbro Gaming Hangman game is suitable for 2 players, ages 8 to 12 years. The game involves two roles: the word-setter and the guessing player. Roles typically alternate after each round.

Game Objective:

The guessing player aims to correctly identify the secret word before the hangman figure is fully constructed. The word-setter aims to complete the hangman figure before the word is guessed.

Gameplay Steps:

1. Choose Roles: Players decide who will be the first word-setter and who will be the first guessing player.
2. Set the Secret Word: The word-setter secretly chooses a word. They then use the word tiles to represent the letters of their chosen word, placing them into the hidden word slots on their side of the game unit. The number of blank spaces should match the number of letters in the word.
3. Guessing Letters: The guessing player calls out a letter of the alphabet.
4. Correct Guess: If the called letter is present in the secret word, the word-setter reveals all instances of that letter by placing the corresponding letter tiles in the correct slots on the game unit. The guessing player then takes another turn.
5. Incorrect Guess: If the called letter is not present in the secret word, the word-setter adds one piece to the hangman figure. The guessing player's turn then ends, and the roles may switch for the next round or the word-setter continues if playing multiple rounds with the same roles.
6. Winning the Round:
   • The guessing player wins if they correctly guess the entire word before the hangman figure is fully assembled.
   • The word-setter wins if the hangman figure is completed before the guessing player identifies the secret word.
7. New Round: After a round concludes, players can switch roles and begin a new game.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your Hasbro Gaming Hangman game:

• Store all game components in their original packaging or a suitable container when not in use to prevent loss or damage.
• Keep the game unit and tiles clean by wiping them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or liquids.
• Protect the game from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your game, consider the following:

• Missing Pieces: If any components are missing upon unboxing, please contact Hasbro Gaming customer support for assistance.
• Difficulty with Word Selection: For younger players, start with shorter, simpler words. As vocabulary improves, gradually introduce longer or more complex words.
