For explorers and adventurers in the world of words comes this crossword game with a wild card: If you land on the right space, one tile can represent more than one letter. And asterisk tiles can mean any combination of letters you wish. But you don’t have to tell your opponent what that is: Will he call your bluff, or let the word stand? Even lifetime word gamers will be styling plays they never before dreamed possible. The game includes a board, four trays, 94 game tiles, six spare tiles, a cloth bag and an instruction book. Also included is a free two-player PC online version with chat (a $12.95 value). Wholesale pricing for six units within the continental United States includes shipping.
— Inventor Peter Roizen told TDmonthly his game “levels the playing field between a Scrabble expert and a normal newspaper reader. In a sense I [created] it out of revenge,” he said, so the game couldn’t be won with little-known two-letter words. Though many shoppers tend to go with the game’s classic rival, Roizen has found that in-store demos are good for sales.
