Description

Word Rummy is a classic game that's all about testing your vocabulary and anagram-forming skills, and it's been a favorite among gamers since its release in 1980. Designed by Elliot Rudell, this easy-to-learn game is perfect for 2 to 6 players looking for a fun and challenging experience that can be enjoyed in about 45 minutes. The game is all about collecting sets of letter cards to form words, and with its simple rules, you can dive right in and start playing. On each turn, you've got three options to choose from - form a new word, change an existing one by adding letters from your hand, or draw a new card and discard an old one. The goal is to earn points by forming words, with longer words scoring more points and bonus points awarded for words of six or more letters. The game consists of multiple rounds, with the goal of reaching a set number of points, usually 25 or 50. With its unique blend of word game and card game elements, Word Rummy is a great choice for anyone looking for a game that's both fun and mentally stimulating. Whether you're a word game enthusiast or just looking for a new game to play with friends, Word Rummy is definitely worth checking out.
