From the award-winning, best-selling creators of Exploding Kittens and Throw Throw Burrito, A Little Wordy is a fresh and ridiculously clever take on the genre of tile-based word-unscrambling games. Here s how it works: You re each given a pile of letters. Rearrange your letters until you come up with a word. Be sneaky and choose a word that your opponent won t easily guess. Write it down, keep it a secret. Rescramble your tiles, pass them to your opponent. The goal is to examine your opponent s tiles and try to figure out their word. You do this with Clue Cards. These tell you things such as: what s the first letter, how long s the word, or what does it rhyme with? You win by using as FEW of these clue cards as possible to figure out what word your opponent wrote down. It s thoughtful, strategic, highly-replayable, and built specifically for two players. It s not a game about having the mightiest vocabulary - it s a game about making clever choices. The longest, most complicated word isn t always the best choice. Sometimes, picking a smaller, common word is better because your brainiac opponent will overthink things and blaze right past it. Trying to figure out your opponent s secret word can be both hilarious and (delightfully) maddening. A Little Wordy levels the playing field against veteran word wizards. -description from publisher
