Description

Get ready to unleash your inner word genius with Эрудит, a classic word game that's been challenging and delighting players since 1970. This Russian adaptation of Scrabble is all about forming words on the gameboard using your seven drawn letter-tiles, with each word earning points based on the commonality of the letters used. The twist is that you can only play a word if it uses at least one already-played tile or adds to an existing word, which adds a tactical layer to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of 90 minutes, Эрудит is perfect for a fun night in with friends or family, and can be enjoyed by anywhere from 2 to 17 players. As you place your tiles and form words, you'll need to think strategically about which words to play and when, all while trying to outmaneuver your opponents and snag the best bonus spaces on the board.
