Description

Welcome to Nomenclutter!

In this letter stacking game, players are building and changing words on a 5x5 grid to try and name things that match their secret mission.

Players take turns playing letters or action cards from their hands to change the grid.

Players may play two cards per turn. In this example, a player uses one letter and one action card to create the word "Orca".


Missions

Players have three secret missions. To complete one, a player must have two words matching the theme for their mission on the board at the same time. They can even use words other players have created! They can also choose to reveal a mission and "lock in" a word on the board matching it. That allows a player to have credit for that word even if it changes before they create or find a second one.

With the word Orca and the word Fish next to it, "Things in the Sea" is now complete. Playing the "o" also created the word "Four" for another player's mission to create numbers.


Once a player is able to complete all three of their secret missions, they are the winner!

Well Written Rules Nice Artwork

I’m curious if the secret missions become more discernible after a few plays, once players know the bank of missions to be had? I see you changed the win condition from 3 to 2, which makes sense becau...
