Sproutword Word Strategy Game Giveaway

We were sent a copy of Sproutword last month for review and I am delighted to say that the creators have offered one of my readers a copy as a Christmas Present.

Suitable for 2-4 players, Sproutword is a letter tile game which is entirely plastic-free and utterly beautiful. The tiles are a joy to play with, and the gameplay is so much more than 'make a word'. In this game you can use everyone else's letters and change words, and winning is all about having control of the longest word in play - the Sproutword.

Sproutword is a brand new game and doesn't yet have an official age recommendation, but as long as you are a fairly confident reader then you'll be able to join in, and with luck can even win. You'll have a more fierce and competitive game with players aged around 10+.

Inside the box are 4 cloth drawstring bags containing the wooden letter tiles (made from sustainable wood in Devon and Dorset). Each player chooses a colour, takes out a number of tiles and places them face up on the table before play begins.

Players take turns and you can create a new word, extend a word (let to letting etc.) or change a word by swapping letters. What makes it really different is that you can use any letter tiles from the table that aren't already part of words - including the other player's tiles.

There are so many options that you always have a move available, and usually there are several. The aim of the game is to have control of the longest word in play, the Sproutword, by having more of your letters in it than anyone else does. Because the longest word can change at any time, the winner isn't decided until the final move.

Sproutword is more like Chess than Scrabble and you can see my full Sproutword game review here. It's brilliant for strengthening logic, problem-solving, spelling and reading skills in younger players and great exercise for your brain. You have to think fast when deciding between a number of possible moves. You can have a relaxing game, but you can also really take this one seriously and satisfy those with a competitive nature.

Sproutword is available to buy now priced £21.99 direct from the manufacturers. For more information and to buy, see the Sproutword website.
