I have long wanted to try the game "Scrabble", where words are laid out on a field like a crossword puzzle. But I just couldn’t get around to buying it. And then I saw her in Fix Price. 99 rubles? We must take it!
So - a cardboard box that promises us that the game
Easy to take on the go!
Its contents are a field, rules, letters, four stands for them.
The field is terrible! Curved glossy slippery cardboard. How to play this on the road??? OK let's see.
There are 104 letters in the set. There are paint stains on them in places. The distribution is like this. It is immediately clear that there are more frequently occurring letters, but they cost less points. And rare ones are significantly more expensive.
The letters stand quite neatly in special stands. But they slide off the field, especially where the fold has distorted everything.
I’ll show you the rules directly in photographs of a real game with yourself. So, each player gets 7 letters, he starts by laying out the first word from them. Be sure to start from the central marked cell.
You can: plural, foreign words that are already included in the Russian dictionary. Vertically and horizontally.
Not allowed: interjections, proper names, abbreviations. Diagonally.
In our case, the first word is BAN. The player counts the letters and gets a total of 3+1+1=5 points.
The player, without looking, picks up letters from a free pile, the second one builds the word - FACADE. It must intersect with what has already been laid out. Since it crosses the cells that multiply points for letters, and the letter F is rare and expensive, this word already gets 2*10+1+1+2*1+2=26 points! And all because the letters F and S are on the squares that multiply their points by two.
The second player also picks up the letters and the formation continues. The first collected the word PUMA 3*2+2+2+1=11 points, and the second - FLOOD, also 2*3+1+1+1+2=11 points.
But you can’t do this! The new word must “cling” to the others. Or continue them. Theoretically, BAN could be extended to BANNER.
Let's continue.
Words can be laid out side by side only in cases where all their perpendicular intersections form correct words. In my case, this is justified - FON and BAN initially gave the pronoun OH.
Gradually the words grow. It would seem that the long TRINITY brought only 1+1+1+1*2+5+1=11 points. But the CASE fell on the square of doubling the entire word, so it turned out 2*(2+1+2+1)=12 points.
As you can see, an asterisk was used as the letter K - a kind of joker. It doesn't bring you any points, but it saves you a lot. Yes, if the player has the letter that the asterisk represents, he can put it in place of the asterisk. But at the same time, he is obliged to put an asterisk in his word on the same move. That is, you cannot take a star from the field onto the stand!
At the end I wanted to scream. All the letters were sliding off the crooked field.
The game ends either if all the letters are gone, or one player does not have them, or after two missed turns by all players.
I can't give it five stars. The quality of the field is terrible, I will either level it or xerify it and paint it. On the other hand, wanting something more for 99 rubles is quite naive. More accurate versions cost from 600 rubles.
Word Master games are Scrabble and Scrabble. Only here the tournament is held with much more enthusiasm. After all, the further you go, the higher the chance of doubling or tripling your points. By the way, it is very difficult to find the rules of this game on the Internet. Unless you consider small, unreadable photos as such. So, the board game Word Master: let's figure out what's what.
Board game Word Master: the beginning
Participants lay out a field on which a crossword network is depicted. On it, players take turns laying out words. In turn, participants take letters from their own trays, which can hold a limited number of letters.
There are two tasks in the Word Master game:
- On your turn, post the longest word possible
- Collect as many game points as possible
Scoring
There is a number in the corner of each letter block. These are the nominal points that a player receives for using a letter. Further, the field has the following types of bonus cells:
B2 and B3 - doubling and tripling the points of the die that lands here
C2 and C3 - the sum of points for a whole word is multiplied by 2 or 3
As you understand, during the game you will have to keep calculations all the time. Are you saying it's boring? But children like such fun arithmetic with funny grammar together. Play with the whole family, you will have fun!

Summer is not very good these days. Either slush or heat. Now my daughter and I are relaxing in the village with our grandmother. There are no problems in the heat. The child disappears with his girlfriends all day. Either to swim in the river, or to take a walk on the street, or to ride a bike. All in business. 😊 And when it rains, the poor children simply have nothing to do. All the books have been read, you can’t go outside, TV isn’t an option either. The phone remains. But here I am against it. I bought a board game "Master of Words" I remember we played this game just on a piece of paper. And here everything is “adult” - a playing field, chips with letters, stands for letters.
So, . Bought at Fixed price. Sold in a cardboard box like this. The box is glossy, so it glares.😒
Board game "Word Master"
A game
🔶 Has a compact size
🔶Easy to take on the go
Board game "Word Master"
The size is really compact and you can take it on the go. The only problem is with the playing field. It is a square sheet of paper laminated on both sides. It is solid, but does not unfold well. The field must be pressed down with something heavy.
Board game "Word Master"
I usually press down on the four corners with all sorts of jars of creams.
IN compound games included:
🔶 Playing field.
🔶 104 bones with letters.
🔶 4 bone stands.
🔶 Rules of the game.
Board game "Word Master"
The bones with letters are small, 1 x 1 cm, white. The letters are printed perfectly, the paint does not rub off anywhere. On each bone, in addition to the letter itself, there is a number - this is the point value. Two bones with stars. They can replace any missing letter. For example, if you are missing one letter, but have an asterisk, you can use it: wtf(* is placed instead of a letter h). For the convenience of players there are 4 special stands.
The rules are written in great detail on both sides on a piece of paper. During the first game we didn’t go beyond the rules, but during the process everything got into our head and now we look into it only in controversial cases.
Board game "Word Master"
The rules are briefly shown on the back of the box.
Board game "Word Master"
The essence of the game. Number of players 2-4 people. Each player has a special stand for dice with letters. Each player gets 7 letters, and the stand has space for 8 letters. We use all 8 positions on the stand. The bones are chosen randomly. To prevent players from selecting letters and seeing what they are taking, it is better to use a fabric bag rather than a transparent plastic bag.
The first player makes a word from the available letters. The word is laid out from the middle of the field horizontally or vertically. The principle of a crossword puzzle is used. All points are tallied at the end of the game. The one with the most points wins.
Allowed words. All words that are in the standard dictionary of the Russian language are allowed, except for proper names, abbreviations and words that are written with a dash. You can literally take a dictionary and look up suitable words in it.
Prize cells. There are prize cells for letters and words. If a word lands on both the letter bonus space and the word bonus space, then you need to add up all the bonus points for the word, and then double or triple the score for the word. At first glance it seems complicated, but as you play, everything fits into your head.
If a player has used all the tiles in one turn, he receives 50 bonus points in addition to the regular points.
Board game "Word Master"
The game is interesting. Me and the kids like it. You have to seriously strain your brains to come up with a word from the available letters. Here both intelligence and logic develop. And there is a competitive element, which is important, especially for children. The only point is the damn playing field, which everything strives to come together at the most crucial moment.😒 It, of course, can be glued to some cardboard. But then you won’t be able to take it on the road. Dilemma, however.😊

Scoring and bonuses
Each letter is assigned a number of points from 1 to 10. Some squares on the board are painted in different colors. The number of points a player receives for a given word is calculated as follows:
If the square under the letter is colorless, the number of points written on the letter is added;
If the square is green, the number of letter points is multiplied by 2;
If the square is yellow, the number of letter points is multiplied by 3;
If the square is blue, the score of the entire word is multiplied by 2;
If the square is red, the score of the entire word is multiplied by 3.
If a word uses both types of multipliers, then the doubling (triple) of the word's points takes into account the doubling (triple) of the letter's points.
Star
Also, the set of bones contains three stars. Such a chip can be used as any letter of the player's choice. For example, a player can put the word “TE*EFON”, where the role of the letter “L” will be played by an asterisk.
An asterisk brings as many points as the letter whose role it plays would bring.
Reuse of sprocket
If either player has a letter that is replaced by an asterisk, they can replace the asterisk with a letter and use that asterisk to form their word, but only on the current turn. You cannot take a star from the field for yourself.
