Description
Word Bank is a fast-paced and exciting word game that's perfect for a quick game night with friends. Designed by Fabien Tanguy and published in 2019, this base game is easy to learn and can be played with 2 to 5 players in just 15 minutes. The goal is simple: be the player with the lowest number of gems at the end of the game. To get there, you'll need to use your vocabulary skills to come up with words that match the letters in the "bank", a circle of seven letter cards that are revealed at the start of the game. On each turn, you'll give a "password" to the bank, placing gems on the letters that match your word. The twist is that you can only use letters in the order they appear in your password, and you can't circle back to letters you've already used. As the game heats up, players will claim letter cards and reveal new ones, adding an element of strategy to the game. With its simple rules and quick playtime, Word Bank is a great addition to any game night. It's a fun and challenging way to test your word skills and compete with your friends to see who can come out on top.
