Word Winder (2012)

WORD WINDER™ is the game of winding words. Lay down your chips to form winding lines of winding words. Outrace your opponents and block their lines. Strategy & Cunning! Offense, Defense, Temporary Alliances and Countless Game Board Combinations! From the world’s most syndicated word game creator.​

The Setup: the 16 tiles are dual sided so making 4x4 or 2x8 has a lot of possibilities (I leave the exact number to current Math majors). 2-3 players got a supply of chips to cover the letters and 4-6 players share.

Play: You then take turns laying out chips to cover the letters of words while trying to make a continuous line of letters across the board. The 2 versions of the game are side winder where you try to go across the board either from top to bottom or down from top to bottom or Race where the tiles are arranged 2x8 and you go the long way from top to bottom.

Strategy: oddly enough there is a lot. Blocking your opponent or just try running away with a win.
