Dexikon is a deck-building game with a linguistic twist. Each player starts with a small deck of versatile letter cards and uses them to spell words, score points, and buy more powerful cards. The pricier cards might be less flexible, but they’re worth more points and come with bonus effects that can mess with opponents. Instead of spending points to buy new cards, you can 'bank' them. Once a certain number of words are banked, everyone gets one final shot at spelling a word using their entire deck before tallying up points and crowning the winner. Perfect for word game lovers who crave more strategy than your average Scrabble.
