My Word (1980)

About this game

The object of the game is to score points by forming 4 letter words from your hand of 3-4 cards. Each turn a player can play a single card next to or on top of any existing card on the table. Each card has 4 halves of words. Words are formed by joining pairs between two cards and scoring according to the number next both pairs.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 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.
