About the game

What you do in a play session

Not Another Word Game is that fast and fun card game you bring to any gathering. The idea is simple: get rid of your cards before everyone else, but to do that, you'll have to play with words like a language wizard. Add, remove, swap, or rearrange letters to form new words and leave others hanging. It's like Scrabble on steroids without the hassle of scoring points. Perfect for those who enjoy a word challenge without taking it too seriously. And hey, it plays 2 to 8 people, so it works both for a duel and for a full-on chaotic session with the whole crew.
