Description
Get ready to unleash your word power in this classic board game from 1963. Designed by Thomas N. Shaw, Word Power is a game for 2 to 8 players that combines elements of card games, dice, and wordplay. Players take turns rolling and moving around a circular board, trying to "publish" 10 books or accumulate $100,000. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time. As you navigate the board, you'll encounter challenges and opportunities to play antonyms and synonyms, fill numbered spaces, and even "publish" books by filling all four spaces or passing the start space. But beware - other players can challenge your moves, leading to high-stakes betting and bluffing. With its unique blend of wordplay and strategy, Word Power is a game that will keep you on your toes for a thrilling 60 minutes.
