Shenanigrams (2023)

About this game

Shenanigrams is a word game filled to the brim with sneakiness, shenanigans & anagrams! Players battle head-to-head in a nail-biting race to build and steal as many words as possible from their opponents by using stealth, strategy and wordy wickedness. It’s easy to learn, quick to play and the perfect grab-and-go game to keep everyone entertained for hours. You don’t need to like word games to LOVE this one. Kids, teens and adults will be hooked! HOW TO PLAY: Players take turns playing one letter tile, gradually forming a word grid everyone is playing on. When a player completes a word, they tag it! But watch out…players can also use their turn to steal opponents’ tagged words by adding, inserting or replacing a letter tile. Be the first to use all your tags and shout "SHENANIGRAMS” to win! Let the Shenanigrams commence... —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
