Wordsmith https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/274364/watergate Category: Player vs player Key mechanics: Word game, real time, dexterity Rules complexity (0 to 7): 0 Game length: 5-10 minutes First played: 2021 Experience: 2 plays with 4-6 players in one session In Wordsmith, you're given pieces of letters - arcs, line segments, the like. Your goal is to assemble these pieces into letters, and those letters into words - as many as possible, within the time limit. I freaking love word games - one of my absolute favorite games, which I didn't wind up playing in 2021, is Bananagrams. Wordsmith definitely qualifies as that, and it also has some geometric/tactile fun-factor because you get to actually form your letters. It's really fun assembling them. The reason why Wordsmith doesn't rank higher - I'm just not convinced that this game has the legs. It's super-fun to form those words and just move on and on, but it's also a speed-based word game that has a high novelty-factor. I don't own this game and would happily play it again, but wonder if further plays would take the shine off of it. --- yet all azuarc of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...
