WORD GAME AND METHODS OF CONDUCTING SAME

摘要

A method of playing a word game, wherein all players are allocated a pack of cards each pack containing alphabet cards and a numerical value corresponding to said letter of the alphabet on one side thereof, and blank cards, each blank card having a blank symbol and a numerical value corresponding to said blank symbol on one side thereof. The game includes a single pack of activity cards for use by each player, each of said activity cards designating an action to be taken by players in turn. Each player forms a word of at least two letters or as many as twelve letters by arranging said alphabet cards face down so as to spell said word without showing the letters of the alphabet of said word to any of the other players. Said players have the option of disguising said formed word with blank cards arranged face down with said alphabet cards; said blank cards can only be used at the beginning and/or end of said formed word. Designated first player selects an activity card from said pack of activity cards and takes the action designated on said selected activity card. Designated first player continues to ask any other player for an alphabet or blank card. A scorer records the points gained by said first player at the same time as, or after, said designated action is performed and or after said alphabet or blank card has been exposed. Thereafter each player in turn selects an activity card from said pack of activity cards as their turn arises, and takes the action designated on said selected activity card. Thereafter each player in turn continues to ask any other player for an alphabet or blank card. A scorer records the points gained by said player at the same time as, or after, each of said designated action is performed and or after said alphabet or blank card is exposed until one final player is left with one or more unexposed cards. Thereafter each player in turn, other than said final player, attempts to guess said final player's word. Where said final player's word is guessed by a player other than said final player, allocating a final score to said player who guessed said final player's word, summing each players score and determining the winning player from said summed scores. Where said final player's word is not guessed by a player other than said final player, allocating a final score to said final player, summing each players score and determining the winning player from said summed scores.
