    Description

    Slide and meld fragments into words in this lasercut word game. The game components include 144 letter, bigram and trigram tiles, each with a point value and a gameboard with angular stands.

    Setup:
    • Assemble the board with the stands
    • Shuffle and scatter the tiles face down in a random pile
    • Grab 30 tiles and randomly stack face up within the slots
      • 2 players: 30 tiles
      • 3 players: 50 tiles
      • 4 players: 70 tiles
      • 5+ players: 90 tiles
    • Reserve a pile of face down tiles in a draw pile as per the number of players:
    • Set the remaining tiles aside and out of sight.
    Game Play:
    • Pull one tile from the bottom of any column, letting the tiles in the column slide down.
    • Add a tile from the draw pile face up to the top of same column, except when there is only one tile left which is placed face down as the game-ending mystery tile.
    • Attempt to make a word from two or more of your tiles.
    • When made, place your word in a separate collection pile.

    Ending the Game: The game ends when someone pulls the face down mystery tile. That player gets to use that tile to form a word, if possible. At this point the game ends.
