“Hippie Daniel Boone secretly poisoned the office fatty.” This is just one of the wacky sentences created during the game of You’ve Been Sentenced that I recently played. You’ve Been Sentenced is not what you would call a serious word game. While it is not fantastic, You’ve Been Sentenced is probably one of the better word games that I have played.
Handy, or as I like to call it the game of Twister for fingers is a unique game. Handy can be fun in the right environments but lacks lasting power.
Plext is the game of few words. The object of Plext is to use all 14 letter dice in the fewest words as possible. While I wouldn’t consider myself to be a big fan of word games, I did have some fun playing Plext.
When I was a child I remember playing a card and dice game where you used a standard deck of playing cards, two dice and whatever you chose to use as chips/markers. You rolled the dice and were able to get rid of cards based on what number was rolled. I actually liked playing this game as a child but I have not played the game in many years. As it turns out, Pacardy is almost exactly the same game but with some slight rule differences. After playing Pacardy I would have to say that I actually preferred the rules from the game I played when I was a kid.
