Description

Get ready for a word game like no other with Tuf-abet, a classic game from 1969 that's all about speed and strategy. Designed by Peter A. Brett, this game is simple to learn but challenging to master, making it perfect for 2 to 4 players. The goal is to use all 20 of your letter-cubes to create words in a grid, with the added twist of a timer to keep things exciting. As players compete to use the most letters, they can earn bonus points for capitalized words, longer words, and intersecting letters. The first player to complete their grid can call "Tuf" and earn a bonus, but others can still catch up by calling "Tuffer" or "Tuffest" and trying to beat their score. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, Tuf-abet is a great game for a quick evening of fun with friends or family.
