This seems to be especially true of Word games. Similarly just because I can pick up a game at Walmart, Target or even my closest Shoppers Drug Mart, doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad game. Just because a game isn’t sold in mass market stores, is from a famous game designer, features that game designer’s name on the cover, and is considered a hobby board game, that doesn’t mean it’s actually a better game. I think this is an important thing to note for the hobby overall, not just for word games. This seems to be especially true as far as word games are concerned. I just want to point out that there’s nothing wrong with many of the mass market games that are out there. There is enough variety out there that I’m pretty sure they cover all the game types Brian mentions above word spelling, word guessing and word-defining games.Ī slight diversion to talk about mass market vs.
While there may not be a ton of word games out there and they are often overshadowed by the latest miniature game or some hot new deck builder or civilization game, there are plenty of great hobby word games to be had. There are plenty of mass market word games, like Scrabble, but there are also a significant number of hobby or designer board games that use words as a major part of their gameplay. There are some great word-based games (and don’t discredit mass market games).īrian should be pleased to know that I think that word games definitely count as a category.
