Wordrop (2001)

About this game

The game uses tiles similar to Scrabble, but has the letter on both sides of the tile. Players take turns dropping the letter tiles into a see-through plastic device that has 10 columns and allows the letter tiles to stack on top of each other for a max. of 10 letters in a column. The object is to make a word or words of 2 or more letters in length. The words can go in any direction in a straight line similar to a word find. You only score on the word or words that are created with the letter you dropped on that turn.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 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.
