Description

The Build Word Challenge deck is a game system with which many word games can be played. The deck has 2 copies of each consonant, 4 copies of each vowel, and 2 star (wild) cards. The letter cards are also numbered 1-26 in alphabetical order, and the star card is 27. The letters and star are printed in 4 colors (red, blue, green, black), 2 on each card. The numbers and colors can be used for different games, change a game s difficulty, and resolve ties. The main Build Word Challenge game deals 7 cards to each player, and they each write down all the words they can find among them; then they pass their hand to the left and do the same with the new hand. This is repeated until each player has examined each hand, and then everyone scores all the words they found; highest score wins. The rules booklet includes rules for word games based on many other popular games: BWC Canasta BWC Concentration BWC Cribbage BWC Gin Rummy BWC Go Fish BWC Pass the Deck BWC Poker BWC Rack-O BWC Scrabble BWC Seven BWC Solitaire (5 different games) BWC Spoons BWC Trash BWC UNO BWC War BWC 2Plus BWC 56 Sticks BWC 900 Rummy
