Not A Real-Word Game

2–12 players · 15 min · 8+

Not A Real-Word Game is a victorless game of making and using hyper-pleas-ify-ing words.

In just a few minutes, you and your fellow neo-log-ists, will have created 15 or so of, your very own neo-log-isms to add to the Not A Real-Word Dictionary!

Flippable domino-like cards allow you to choose which Word Particle(s) to align with word(s) already in the Play Area. Once you have built your word, read it out loud, then tell everyone what your word means.

If you're stuck, no worries, hot potato your deck to a neighbor. There's no need for stress, this isn't your typical word game with a need to know-it-all.
