A Little Wordy Review - Thoughts From Origins

Bower's Game Corner

Bower's Game Corner

Watch “A Little Wordy Review - Thoughts From Origins,” a board game review for A Little Wordy from Bower's Game Corner on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Bower's Game Corner on YouTube:

On today's thoughts from the Origins me and Adam sit down to discuss A Little Wordy from The exploding kittens team. Buy it on Amazon: https://amzn.to/3zvoA44 Want To Help The Channel Get Better?

Here’s how it works: You’re each given a pile of letters. Rearrange your letters until you come up with a word. Be sneaky and choose a word that your opponent won’t easily guess. Write it down, keep it a secret. Rescramble your tiles, pass them to your opponent. The goal is to examine your opponent’s tiles and try to figure out their word. You do this with Clue Cards. These tell you things such as: what’s the first letter, how long’s the word, or what does it rhyme with? You win by using as FEW of these clue cards as possible to figure out what word your opponent wrote down. It’s thoughtful, strategic, highly-replayable, and built specifically for two players. It’s not a game about having the mightiest vocabulary - it’s a game about making clever choices. The longest, most complicated word isn’t always the best choice. Sometimes, picking a smaller, common word is better because your brainiac opponent will overthink things and blaze right past it. Trying to figure out your opponent’s secret word can be both hilarious and (delightfully) maddening. A Little Wordy levels the playing field against veteran word wizards.
