"I love the Play on Words card game! As the author of Jumble, Word RoundUp, Just 2 Words and more, I'm always skeptical of other people's word games, but when I played Play on Words for the first time,
​I was blown away! My wife and I c0uldn't stop playing. Well done!"

about play on words

Play on Words is the super, get-your-brain-in-gear, word game. Get ready to play a word game a whole, new way!
 
Played WITH CARDS on an open tabletop, you'll quickly see how fun and engaging the game's play style can be. It's simple and a bit complex at the same time. Besides making a word each turn, you can change already-played words, even your opponents, by "playing on" them -- inserting card(s) onto or within a word, or adding and re-arranging into a whole, new word!

Combo cards, flip cards, and wild cards give even more options in this clever, tug-of-war word challenge that's just the right mix of brain exercise and fun! Enjoy playing it at a basic level with kids or an advanced level with adults. Play on Words rises to the level of the players' abilities.
 
The all-face up, no-rush play allows for a lot of conversation, collaboration, and laughter! Enjoy the game!
