Word Whimsy: Bonus Cards is an expansion for Word Whimsy released in 2013 for 2–7 players, 40 minutes per game, and ages 15 and up. It was designed by Ben Stoll.
Six bonus cards that expand the base game. No question cards, only answers. Cryptozoic made these available to retailers: "Hobby stores that order Word Whimsy through an authorized distributor will receive these promo cards directly with their order (while supplies last, so act fast!). Stores will receive one promo pack for each game purchased to reward their loyal customers."
Word Whimsy: Bonus Cards supports 2–7 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Word Whimsy: Bonus Cards is 40 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Word Whimsy: Bonus Cards for ages 15 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
