Konexi (2010)

About this game

The gravity-defying word game! Konexi is the 3D word-building game that will have you pushing your luck and on the edge of your seat! If Scrabble and Jenga got together and had a bit too much to drink, Konexi might be their "gift" nine months later. Take turns adding letters to a teetering tower of words. Go for longer words — upward, downward, or sideways — to score more points. But watch out...the next letter may cause gravity to kick in and a Konexi collapse! It’s thrilling fun for the whole family!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
