League of the Lexicon (2022)

About this game

League of the Lexicon is a word game for language lovers, pedants and the incurably curious. The game comprises two thousand questions in five categories; from etymology to definitions, word usage to archaic meanings. A dice roll decides what category players must answer. Correct answers earn Artefacts, and the correct Artefacts earn victory. The game has two levels of difficulty so younger players can join in too. With stunning hand-drawn artwork and carefully researched questions, League of the Lexicon is a language lovers dream. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
