Description
In Jarnac, a classic word game from 1977, players go head to head to form words on their gameboard using available letter tiles. The rules are easy to learn, making it simple to dive right in and start playing. As players take turns, they can extend and rearrange existing words to create new ones, all while trying to catch their opponent in a mistake. If a player misses an anagram, their opponent can swoop in and steal the word, adding a fun layer of strategy to the game. The goal is to be the first player to form a word on each of the 8 available lines, and with a playtime of just 40 minutes, games are quick and engaging. Designed by Émile Lombard, Jarnac is a great option for fans of word games, and its team-based option allows for fun competition with a partner.
