📖 About This Game

A strange word game, where each player draws from a bag 39 tiles with geometric segments on them. Simultaneously, both players try to arrange their tiles to make a word of four or more letters (most letters are 2x3 tiles, the "I" is 1x3, "M", "T", "W"and "Y" are 3x3). First player to shout Stop! wins the round and scores. The word may be contested. Note that a word with an "I" in it will score less, and conversely with "M", "T", "W" or "Y". The players swap boards and shuffle the tiles of each board around, then play repeats. On the second round, swap again but draw 6 more tiles. Words must now be 5+ letters. Repeat for a third round (six-letter words), drawing six tiles again, so there are six words scored total in a game. The boards show bonuses that can be scored by making really long words. The rules show the exact patterns that make up each letter. An incorrectly drawn letter will lose a challenge.
