Kerflip!

flip letters, form words

Searching for words using double-sided letters, with a white background on one side and a purple one on the other side.

At the start you draw letters in relation to the number of players, then all put them on the playing board simultaneously and turn them over to the white side. Now all look at the letters – touching is not allowed! – and make up a word with them; if you find a word you name it and must stick with it. When all but one player have named a word, the last player has the runtime of the timer to name a word. Each word can only be named once.

Then words are assembled in the order they were named; the first word is all white and scores ten points per letter. Then this word is turned over to the purple side. The next player now again uses all letters to form his word, but scores only five points for each letter on purple that he must use. When his word is scored, letters on white are turned over to purple and the next player forms his word, and so on. Some letters earn bonus cards for the first user. If you cannot form the word you named, you do not score. When all words were formed and scored, letters with purple background go out of the game, white ones go back into the bag and a new round begins. When the Lightning marker is on the board, the first word that is named scores 25 bonus points. When there are not enough letters for a round, you win with most points from words and bonus cards.

Speed and vocabulary are on demand in this fabulous extension for the word formation genre of games! The faster you are the more letters you can devaluate for your opponents, so quick words with standard letters might be best.
