AMUSEAMAZE

AmuseAmaze is the ultimate letter labyrinth, a tiled gameboard that changes with every game for more than 6 billion set-up combinations. Navigate through the maze by forming words that clear a path to the all-important Target Cards. Place letter tiles that alter the path in your favor, and pick up tiles your opponents leave behind. Activate your own private gardener at that one moment when you just have to break through a hedge. Long, fancy words might earn you the occasional bonus, but even the simplest words can provide the shortest route to conquering AmuseAmaze! Contents of AmuseAmaze: 18 Maze Boards 24 Target Cards 6 Playing Pieces 6 Gardener Cards 88 Letter Tiles Rules 		BANANAGRAMS

Bananagrams is the anagram game that will drive you bananas! The letter tiles are all placed face down on the table, then everyone takes 11-21 tiles (depending on the number of players). Players turn over their tiles and everyone creates their own individual crossword simultaneously. When a player has no tiles left, that player yells "PEEL" and takes one from the "BUNCH". All other players must also take a tile at this time. Once all the letters in the "BUNCH" are gone, the first player with no letters left shouts "BANANAS" and is the winner of that round. You can play Bananagrams anytime, anywhere, no board required! Contents of Bananagrams: 1 Bananagrams Zippered Pouch 144 Letter Tiles Instructions 		BOGGLE - TO GO

Spell your way to the finish line in The Great Word Race! Fun for kids of all ages, The Great Word Race will challenge your spelling and word building abilities. Players take turns rolling all six of the letter dice, and then build words using the letters that come up on the dice, the Letter for Life cards they own, and by following the instructions on the Pick a Card card they may have picked up.

Last Word is an uproarious race to have the final say! Start by reading your subject card with possible subjects including Breeds of Dogs, Cartoon Characters, or Vegetables. Next, turn over a letter card, and be the first to play your subject card and start the timer. Finally, everyone races the timer to get in the Last Word! This game features an innovative timer that has been cleverly programmed to go off at random intervals. Contents of Last Word: 2 Gameboards 230 subject cards 56 letter cards 8 colored pawns 8 trade-in pieces Electronic random timer Instructions		SAYGO

Similar to Scrabble, players are creating word puzzles in a crossword fashion, only with Saygo, you do not have a community board. Instead, players builds their own word puzzles in front of them. Letters are worth points (vowels are worth 1 point, consonants 2 points, and super consonants J, K, Qu, X, and Z, are worth 4) the object of the game is to be the first player to reach 500 points. Every player randomly selects eight tiles and places them face down. Simultaneously, players turn them over and begin building the puzzles with as many letters from their individual pile as possible. Once someone has used up all eight tiles, he or she says "Saygo" and all players will select another tile. If nobody can use their tiles it is a stalemate, and everyone selects another tile. Should players find they can not use all of their tiles, they have the option of rearranging their puzzles as often as needed, in attempt to use all letters. The game continues until all tiles are used and the last person to use his/her last tile yells "done". Once the group verifies the accuracy of the winning player's words, the winner collects the remaining letters and adds them to his/her score. Once a player has 500 points (that number can be lowered or raised if desired), the round is finished and players can play again. Contents of Saygo: 120 Letter Tiles Travel Bag for Tiles Instruction Booklet

Even if it's not your turn, as soon as you spot a word call it out, take the letters, and place the word face up in front of you. But beware, the word you make may not be yours for long! Words can be formed in two ways - by using 3 or more letters from the center or by adding one or more letters to an existing word. Players may snatch any word by changing it with the addition of one or more letters! Play continues until all 100 tiles have been flipped over and no more new words can be formed.
