Typewriter

Players spell words using personal racks of acrylic letter tiles that resemble typewriter keys. Each turn a player forms a word from the tiles in front of them, uses up their starting letters to send one tile to a scoring stack, then takes a new tile from a common offer; play continues as rounds advance. When a word is played, every tile in that word is flipped, revealing new letters and changing available options. Many tiles carry special abilities, set-collection or bigram effects, or high-value letters that influence scoring and strategy. The game fits a small box and includes a zipper bag for travel-ready storage.
