Description
Raon is a word game that lives up to its name, which means fun in traditional Korean. This fast-paced game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a quick and exciting challenge. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, Raon is great for a casual game night or a quick break from the daily routine. The rules are simple and can be explained quickly, making it easy for new players to jump in and start playing. In Raon, players take turns forming Korean words using Hangul tiles, trying to be the first to use up all their tiles. The game starts with each player getting a set of consonant and vowel tiles, and then they're off, racing to create words and reuse tiles from previous players' words. With its unique blend of hand management and tile placement mechanics, Raon requires strategic thinking and a bit of luck. Designed by Justin Oh and first published in 2010, Raon is a base game that's easy to learn but challenging to master, making it a great addition to any board game collection. Whether you're a fan of word games or just looking for something new and exciting, Raon is definitely worth checking out.
