Word game

Abstract

The present invention provides a word game that can be played for purely entertainment purposes or also as a learning experience. This is single- or multi-player game. As a one-player game, it resembles a memory or concentration game. The player is playing against himself. As a multi-player game, the players play against each other, involving memory and chance of the card deck and the game cubes. The game contains a single deck of cards. Each card contains a sentence that the players need to complete. These sentences are of varying lengths. A set number of tiles are part of the game. The words necessary to complete the sentences on the cards are printed on the tiles. The tiles are shaped in such a way that they fit together to form the sentences. During play, two (2) game cubes are rolled dictating the number of tiles that the player can turn over. The game cubes add an additional element of chance to the game, varying the number of tiles each player can turn over during his/her turn. The player completing the most sentences wins the game. The win is contingent on remembering the position of needed tiles and the roll of the game cubes.
