Krazy Wordz

6 consonants, 3 vowels, one word

A game on imaginative word creations and their meanings. Each player is given a board and tip cards 1-6 in case of 6 players, 1-7 for 6 and 1-8 for 7 players. The same number of number cards is laid out. You then receive a face-down task card and draw six consonants and three vowels face-down. Those letters are then used to form a word on your board that does not exist but fits the task card as well as possible. Then you hand – again face-down – the task card back to the starting player who then shuffles all tasks cards, amended by additional cards from the stack to the amount of number cards on display, and then puts the card open-faced onto the number cards, the number of each cards remains visible.

Each player now puts his tip card with the number next to his task card face-down underneath his board and then uses the remaining cards to give a guess for each board on the number of the task card that belongs to this word, that is, one card for each player’s board. Then players in turn reveal all tip cards and the creator of a word scores one 1 point for each correct tip received and the correct guessers score 1 point each. After six rounds you win with most points.

Amgrys – a nice-tasting spice or a woman’s magazine? Or is it something really expensive? Would Grysam then fit better? Creativity based on given topics in relation to randomly drawn letters is on demand, Family Edition relations to the content of the task cards rather than to the suitability for the game as a family game, as, I do believe, all players should have a similar command of vocabulary for this very good, creative word game for all players to have fun!
