About Word Basket
The game comes with a plastic basket and a deck of cards with kana on them. Some cards have numbers on them (5, 6, or 7+) and some cards are wild. Players take turns throwing cards from their hand while either shouting out a word that ends with the kana they throw in or has the number of kana corresponding to the number they throw in. All words must start with the letter that the last word ended with. Home Page: http://homepage.mac.com/jaga_online/wb/
