Paperback - the novel deckbuilding game. Word-building meets deck-building - players start with a deck of letter cards and wild cards. Each hand they form words and purchase more powerful letters based on how well their word scored. Most letters have abilities that activate when they are used in a word, such as drawing more cards or double letter score. Players buy wilds to gain victory points.

Help Paige Turner become a famous author by completing Westerns, Science Fiction, Romance or even a Crime Noir novels. Live the dream — and maybe pay the bills.

Carter H. ★★★★★

The wild cards are what make this one click for me — you're never stuck with a dead hand of consonants, and the 10th anniversary box has nicer card stock than I expected. Taught my sister in about ten minutes and we ended up playing four rounds straight.
