Anagrams

Posted by miuki as Board Games

According to Yehuda - Anagrams is the Eurogame version of Scrabble. (And to think I don’t really like Scrabble to begin with.)

Yehuda explains the game quite well I must say.

Anyhow.

Apparently, Anagrams is a game for 2 or more players. It takes about 30 minutes and there are no turns, everyone plays all the time.

You can win right up to the very end of the game, and, while a good vocabulary helps (duh), it is less of an issue than it is in Scrabble. More important is a quick pattern matching ability.

Players sit in a circle. Flip over tiles, one at a time, with a reasonable amount of time between each flip. If you flip the blank tile, discard it. [ Click here to read more ]
