Upwords

Upwords Review

Upwords Feature

• Build new words by stacking letters on top of those already on the board
• Create complex layers of crosswords to earn more points and win the game
• Build words in three directions: across, down, and even upwards
• Includes grids and numbers for 140 Sodoku puzzles
• For 2 to 4 players

Upwords takes the likes of Scrabble to new heights. Players get more power out of every word and create more play possibilities. Players can build from words crossword puzzle-style or by stacking letters on top of tiles already on the board. The challenge is to make new words each time. For example, "stack" becomes "snack," then "snapshot." If it sounds like 3-D Scrabble, there's more to know. Scoring is simpler: each tile earns two points, and each stacked tile earns one. The usual Nos apply: no capitalized, hyphenated, or abbreviated words, etc. The set comes with 100 letter tiles, tile racks for two to four players, and a plastic game board. --Lynne Sampson Up Words is the 3-dimensional word game that's a stack of fun. Now the expanded 10 X 10 grid offers more squares to build words across, down and up. And with 36 more tiles, you can still stack lots of letters on letters to form new words and score sky high! So rack 'em up, then stack 'em up and experience 3-dimensional word play at its very best! For 2 to 4 players. Game includes: game board with 10 X 10 grid; 100 plastic letter titles; 4 plastic racks; 4 rubber feet; able sheet; instructions. Box artwork may vary.

Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game

Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game Review

Harry Potter Sorcerer's Stone Trivia Game Feature

• BOARD GAME

Fans of the amazing exploits of a certain literary phenomenon and wizardry student are bound to go whole-Hogwarts for the Harry Potter Trivia Game. This clever and challenging Q&A contest mixes a Slytherin scoop of Peeves the Poltergeist with the mechanics of Trivial Pursuit. As they round the circular track, players answer questions in five categories (one Places query asks, "What lies behind the 'Leaky Cauldron'?"), collect various Charms cards, avoid Curses played by opponents, and then return to their Houses to answer a final question. It's a cool game, definitely designed for hardcore Harry fans, but it has a couple of nice features for those who wouldn't know a Ravenclaw from a Hufflepuff. There are multiple-choice questions (though players score extra Charms if they answer without this option), and there's a Spell card that allows you to "think like Hermione." Play this card, and you get to answer another player's question. --Tony Mason

Kuba Board Game

Kuba Board Game Review

Kuba is one of those simple two-player games of strategy that turns out to be fiendishly complex. The game board is a gray plastic grid just over 11 inches square. Its hollows accommodate 29 large glass marbles, and the object is to physically push marbles around the grid in such a way as to remove red neutral marbles from the board. There are 8 black marbles, 8 white ones, and 13 red neutrals. The marbles can be pushed one space forward, back, left, or right, but restrictions make various moves illegal. The winner is the first player to push seven red marbles off the game area. --Richard Farr

Rio Grande Games Hamburgum Antverpia Expansion

Rio Grande Games Hamburgum Antverpia Expansion Review

Rio Grande Games Hamburgum Antverpia Expansion Feature

• It is not the wealthiest family who will win this game
• Beautifully illustrated church donations will come with the expansion
• Game can be played by 2 to 5 players
• Playing time approximately 70 to 90 minutes
• Recommended for ages 12 and up

Players represent wealthy families in one of the most thriving European cities of the 16th century: Antverpia (Antwerp in Belgium). They gain wealth by shipping sugar, cloth and beer overseas, construct new buildings, and help building the 6 most important churches of the city by granting donations to them. But it is not the wealthiest family who will win the game, instead it will be the family who has donated most wisely to the churches. This expansion of the game Hamburgum offers not only a different map with a new allocation of buildings, but also different rules for the donations and visiting the church space on the rondel. Other than in original Hamburgum, church districts do not exist, all donations have to be taken in a certain order, a church tax is implemented on the rondel, and ships give more victory points. The board uses historical views taken from original maps of the 16th century and is printed from both sides: Antverpia on the one side, and a new map of Hamburgum on the other. New and beautifully illustrated church donations will come with the expansion, printed on thick cardboard. Other than that, the game material from Hamburgum should be used (real bricks, metal bells, coins etc.).
