About Before After, from BoardGameGeek:
Before After is a quick-thinking word-linking game. Players divide into two teams, each is given a stack of cards with three words on them. In the center of the table, 10 cards with two letters, each displayed in a way to make it easy for both teams to see it are placed on the board. You leave a space in the center to put a word card and the player that puts it out decides which of the three words colors that they're going to use before flipping the card. Players then have to call out a word that can compound with the selected active word before it, or after it as either a compound word, an expression, or some other saying that is easily recognizable. If they do come out a word that uses one of the four letters that are on The side of the word, CRDE, they get to take that letter card and continue with the newly accessible letter card on one side and the previous one on the other side. Once a team or a player has acquired three letter cards, the word card is awarded to the Person or Team who got the three cards. This continues until 15 cards are collected and that player or team wins.
