About the game
Verbàlia, el joc is a collection of 50 word and language games (maybe 49, maybe 51, up to the players to discover) in Catalan. The games are all playable with the material included, and range from simple word formation games to complex sentence-forming games. There are games using letters and games using syllables; there are games to play solitaire and games to play with large groups; there are reflexive games and skill games; there are fast and crazy games and long and quiet games; there are party-oriented games and competitive and more strategic games, even a letter-based Texas hold'em. A treasure trove of games for word and language lovers! Contents: - 3 game boards - 200 letter tokens - 136 syllable tokens - 120 wooden markers in various colours - 4 notebooks - 4 pencils - 2 cloth bags - The rulebook for the 50 games Note that the distribution of letters and syllables is based on their relative abundance in Catalan and thus it is not playable with other languages. A Spanish edition is expected for Spring 2011.
