Play On WordsCard Game

Q: Can someone give me an example of how this game is played?

Pretty straight-forward ... simple, but a bit complex at the same time. From an 8-stack card formation with each top card turned face up, Player One looks over all options for their best play. They pick up any cards in making a 2-or-more letter word and spells the word on their side of the table. Player Two then starts their turn by flipping any top-cards over to return formation to 8 face-up cards, and chooses their own word to play. IN ADDITION, he/she has the option of "playing on" their opponent's word with any other cards remaining in the formation. Play-ons are done by placing one or more cards on an opponents word -- INSERTING it somewhere, or adding and REARRANGING. I.E. .... add a "c" to "loud" to make "cloud," or add "a" to "nut" to make "tuna." When a player "plays on" someone else's word, they take the newly-made word to their side of the table. So, they steal the word, which adds a fun element. A player can "play on" as many words as they can each turn (even their own), providing they make a 2-or-more letter word first. We've found the rounds can be pretty humorous as people go about playing on an opponent's words. It's fun because it's not a race and there's lots of time for conversation while playing your turn. There's videos of game play online to help anyone who would like to see an example. Just do a search for "Play on Words Game." Players alternate turns doing the above until all cards are exhausted from the formation, and then points are tallied -- 1-pt per letter in all your words played. Highest score wins round.

Q: Is this the second edition in the plastic box?

The ones on Amazon, which are in the larger cardboard box, are the third edition. If you want the second edition in the plastic case you can order directly from David James Games on the playonwordsgame website.

Q: Do you think this game would be appropriate for an addiction group?

The game is great mental exercise for anyone who enjoys words and spelling. The all-face-up style of play keeps everyone engaged and allows for a lot a conversation and humor, at times, between players. And the game is not a rush, so it is not stressful.
