A deck-building word game. Spell a word from the cards in your hand, spend what it earns on better letters, and buy Fame with what is left — knowing every Fame card you buy is one more card in your deck that cannot earn you anything.
How to play
- Everyone starts with the same ten cards: five plain letters and five wilds.
- Tap cards to spell a word. A wild can be any letter you like.
- The word earns the cents printed on the cards you used. Some cards do more than that.
- Spend it on ONE card from the offer — a better letter, or Fame.
- Everything you played goes to your discard pile and you draw five fresh cards.
- Fame is the score, and it is also a wild — so it still spells, it just never earns.
- When a Fame pile runs out the round is finished and the most Fame wins.
