Review: Fun, family-friendly vocabulary game. - Fun, family friendly vocabulary game that can be seen as an alternative to Scrabble. The game is card based with no board. The patents system helps encourage different spelling strategies by making playing certain letters advantageous to you or an opponent. Some patents for lesser used letters also have powers which might change your strategy in picking words.
Review: Fun Scrabble-esque game - We recently tried this game for the first time at a local board game convention. There was a possibility of winning the game just for having played it, but someone else was the lucky one. This only left one reasonable option... buy the game! It was sold out at our local gaming store, so we ordered here on desertcart. It's a light word building card game, where you get more points (in game: money) for building bigger words. You can buy "patents" for letters, so every time someone else uses that specific letter you get a buck from the bank. The more common the letter in the card deck, similar to Scrabble, the more it costs, and you can only buy a letter if you played it that turn. There are no "gotcha" mechanics - you never take letters or money from fellow players. The closest is that there are a few face up cards in the center which any player may use to help build their words, and fairly frequently other players will grab the one that you need to make an absolutely smashing word! Really long words can max out the spending cash, but you still get "stocks", which is money that's scored at the end of the game, but you can't spend it - a simple mechanic to making sure folks don't run away with the game, leaving no letters for anyone else to buy. The rarer letters (j, q, z, etc.) have special abilities, like "you can build two words" or "double points if your word has only one vowel" which can really turn the game in your favor with careful play, assuming you're lucky enough to get them. In the end, your score is every "dollar" you earned, so there is no real downside to buying letter patents. Younger kids can play, but a limited vocabulary and spelling ability might make it too challenging for some. It's hard to put an age on it. I was playing Scrabble at eight or ten years old, but I wasn't winning Scrabble often back then. That was too much description, but the tl:dr is... this is a great game! Simple, fast, easy to learn and play so long as you kinda know how to spell, and most importantly, fun.
