Color Words*
Color Words is a fast roll-and-write word game from Bankiiiz Editions for 1 to 6 players. From a set of given letters you form words and write them into your grid so that the colours of the squares and the bonus rules earn as many points as possible.
What is it about?
Writing a word sounds easy, but placement is the real puzzle: each letter belongs on the right coloured square. Lay out the six words of your grid cleverly and you secure the bonuses and beat your rivals.
How it plays
- Everyone uses the same letters, writing on their own sheet at the same time.
- Build words and spread the letters across the coloured squares.
- Watch for bonus squares to leverage your score.
- After six words, you tally up.
Who it's for
- Word-game fans who like a brisk pace, ages 10 and up
- Groups of up to six players, or solo thanks to a single-player mode
- Short rounds of around 20 minutes
Conclusion
A compact, well-scaling word game that blends a familiar crossword feel with clever colour placement. Strategy seekers will be under-challenged. For a fast, brain-teasing word round, all you need is a pen.
