Z-Man Games will release Knit Wit, a new party game by Pandemic designer Matt Leacock, in March 2016.

In Knit Wit, players use spools of yarn to create word categories, then play answer cards into as many categories as possible in order to score points.  Bonus points can also be won by being the quickest player to grab the “bonus buttons” when they become available during the game.

Knit Wit will include 8 numbered wooden spools, 8 colored loops of yarn, 8 clothespins, 4 bonus buttons, 114 word cards, 8 pencils, and a scoring board.  The game is designed for up to 8 players.  MSRP was not announced.

Z-Man will soon release Archaeology:  The New Expedition and the children’s game My First Stone Age (see “Z-Man Digs Up the Past”).
