Come up with words that meet the criteria set forth by the Word Rule cards. Score points for difficulty and meeting personal objectives.
Better Letters is played on a 5 x 5 grid of cards. Set up the game by shuffling the entire deck and dealing out nine cards into a 3 x 3 grid into the middle of the play area. Shuffle the personal objective cards and deal out three to each player. Each player will select two to keep and discard the other. These are kept secret from other players. Give all players six tokens in their player color.
Better Letters is played in 60 second rounds with all players acting at the same time. Each player’s goal is to form a word(s) by following the restrictions listed on one or multiple cards. You may begin with any card and continue utilizing cards connected orthogonally. Write down your word(s) on your score sheet in the corresponding boxes. All players must finish discovering up to three words before the timer runs out. When the timer expires, everyone makes sure they have one word checked from their list and will be the word they submit for the round.
Custom scoring commences and the game is played over six rounds.

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.
The Mensa award winning, Game of the Year, boop, is back with a new Holiday edition and has really leveled up game play (literally!!).
The hoomans are hanging ornaments on the highest boughs of the tree, but those clever cats are leaping up and boopin’ them right off. You can win “Naughty” by knocking off 3 of your opponent’s ornaments or “Nice” by lining up three cats in a row!
The 4-tiered game board ‘tree’ presents a surprisingly mind-bending 3D challenge for players. And the alternate win condition of knocking off 3 of your opponent's ornaments creates new strategic problems to solve, elevating the play experience to a new high!

Each round in Caution Signs, you're presented with a secret combination of adjective and noun: stylish rhino, gassy monkeys, flexible cow, melting babies — ten thousand combinations are possible. You have twenty seconds to sketch an image of this combo on a caution sign.
All of these images are then revealed to the round's guesser, along with the individual adjectives and nouns, and the guesser tries to figure out what each sign is warning them about.

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.
Every time you place a kitten on the bed, it goes “boop.” Which is to say that it pushes every other kitten on the board one space away. Line up three kittens in a row to graduate them into cats… and then, get three cats in a row to win.
But that isn’t easy with both you AND your opponent constantly “booping” kittens around. It’s like… herding cats!
Can you “boop” your cats into position to win?
Or will you just get “booped” right off the bed?
Approachable but challenging abstract game and a worthy follow up to SHOBU. Plays in 20 to 30 minutes.
Features a quilted, fabric board that lays over the back of the box, completing the minature bed playing surface. 8 molded kittens and cats per player - 32 adorable cat figurines in all!
