My Word társasjáték

Angol leírás

This is a word card game that tried to be different from the others of its era, by focusing on only one word at a time, speeding up play and keeping everyone involved.

It has a deck of 54 cards: 38 have a single letter; 10 have a 2-letter combination; and 2 each have 1, 2 or 3 stars, which are wild and stand for any letter (a word may not be all stars).

Deal 10 cards to each player, and turn up the top card of the reserve. In a turn, a player does one of:
1. Play a word of 3 or more letters from the hand to the table. If there is already a word, the old word is discarded to the bottom of the reserve.

2. Add 1 or more cards from the hand to the word on the table, making a new word.
3. Draw the top of the reserve pile.
4. Draw the turn-up card, turning up the top reserve to replace it.
Note that there is no discarding.

When a word is played or added to, the player scores 1 point per letter in the word. The hand ends when a player plays out all the letters in his hand, at which point all the others subtract 1 point for each letter in their hand. Play until each player has dealt the same number of times, and the highest score wins.
