WYPS (2009)

About this game

WYPS is a word game played on a triangular board. The aim of the players is to be the first to connect all three sides of the board. The unique game board allows playing the game in four different sizes. WYPS is a filler on the smallest board and a serious game on the largest board. WYPS was inspired by The Game of Y. According to the designer, the name comes from it being a Word game based on YPSilon, which is the spelling of the letter Y is some languages.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.5/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
