Playing the game
Make a word out of 3 or more cards and collect those cards. The player with the most cards wins the round.
What the game gets right
My Word! is an extremely simple game. It can be played quickly allowing more variety in your game night choices.
What the game gets wrong
Card design, while pleasant, doesn’t seem to be very balanced with one direction being easier to read. Shuffle the deck very well the first few times to avoid one side of the table having an easier time picking out words.
Sum it up
For a game about making words, there sure isn’t much to say about it. Did I mention it was easy?
