WayWord (2011)

About this game

Game description from the publisher: In Tom Jolly's WayWord, players go head-to-head to score points by finding and creating the best words from the letter tiles. WayWord is not a standard word-building game. Attempt to outmaneuver your opponents and use the special tiles to gain the advantage. Make use of your pawn to block other players from creating words. Optional rules and the unique game play also allow for sentences and phrases to be completed and scored for points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 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.
