Product description It's the ultimate strategic card game requiring brains, luck, and a little larceny! Consisting of 108 letter cards in standard suits (Hearts, Spades, Diamonds, and Clubs), WordThief asks players to construct valid English words from their seven-card hands. Players collect scoring chips for each word they create. Words formed entirely from one suit are protected from theft, (wordlocked), but those comprised from two or more suits are vulnerable to the next Word Thief. It's a challenging, stimulating word game the whole family can enjoy! Comes with 108 letter cards in four different suits, 100 scoring chips in four colors, scorepad and game instructions. For 2 - 4 Players, Ages 9 and Up. .com Stealing the words right out of an opponent's mouth--or, in this case, hand--has never been so accepted as in this vocabulary-building board game. Designed for two to four players, Wordthief involves a deck of letter cards, each of which is assigned a point value based on its frequency of occurrence in English words. The obvious way to create words is to use the seven cards dealt to you. The more interesting way to accumulate points requires that you "steal" an opponent's word and build a new word with more letters from your hand. The player who makes the most words of the greatest point value wins the round. An engaging alternative to Scrabble, this game requires no playing board. Two card decks, a generous score pad, and 100 chips (counters) pack neatly into a box the size of a standard notebook. --Liane Thomas
