WordWeaver Adventures is a family friendly, co-op word building game where adventurers travel to beautifully depicted regions around the world. In each of these regions, they will be challenged by teachers to channel their energy through spelling words. Meet the goal and move to the next challenge with the teacher's praise. Fail and the teacher will make things more difficult. WordWeaver Adventures is highly modular and difficulty of play can be scaled to accommodate a wide variety of play groups and styles. A playthrough can be a breezy 15 minutes or a strategic 60+ minutes. Adventure awaits!

Theme: This game is set in the 18th century Philippines, Vietnam and Japan with animals from each region. The animals are either indigenous to or can be found in those regions. Whenever they are dressed, they are dressed in period specific attire. For example, the Court Musician is a tiger dressed in an 18th century Vietnamese dress (ao dai) and playing a Vietnamese instrument.

How to play: To play the game, players select a region with a corresponding Head Teacher and Assistant Teachers. Players will select an Adventurer board and draw seven tiles to put on their board.

Players will flip over one Assistant Teacher card at a time and be faced with a "Challenge Value" (CV) from that teacher. Each player will spell a word. Once all players have spelled a word, the point values are added up across all players and compared to the CV. If the total is greater then or equal to the CV, then the players will redraw back up to 7 tiles while placing all used tiles back in the tile bag. The next player will then flip over the next Assistant Teacher.

If the players do not meet the CV, the Teacher will "crack a tile slot" of the current player. All players must return all tiles back to the tile bag and then redraw. If a player has a "cracked tile slot" they draw one less tile for each cracked tile slot. For instance, if the current player has one cracked tile slot, they can only redraw 6 tiles instead of seven.

The next player then flips the next card and play continues until all Assistant Teachers have been challenged. The Head Teacher features a much larger challenge and multiple rounds to meet that challenge.
