For the alphabet's great architects of cunning stratagems, Word War One is a card game that challenges players to use their vocabulary and strategic thinking to outplay opponents. Each participant combines letter cards to form words and uses them as offensive or defensive moves on a quest to deplete their opponent's health points. Special cards introduce game-changing twists, ensuring no two battles are the same. Victory is achieved by being the last one standing, using all cards, or constructing a predetermined Boss Word. Word War One is much more than making fancy words and all about making clever use of letters and timing to deliver devastating blows. Articulation and management of cards together with the unpredictability brought by the Special Cards guarantee no game is the same and keep you playing over and over. -description from the designer
