Backwords Random House 1988.

Backwords turns players of all ages into masters of reverse English. A balance of strategy and luck combines with fast-paced player inter- action and comeback possibilities as players take turns pronouncing words backwards. The first player to shout out the correct forward pronunciation moves forward-or backwards! Trying to figure out what these funny- sounding Backwords words are front- wards is absolutely addicting.

Just say "tibah-gnimrof nuf" (come on...really say it out loud). You've just said "habit-forming fun" back- wards. It not only looks funny, it sounds funny. Best of all, the more you play the better you get at it. And the better you get at it, the more you want to play.
