Word Colony (Base Game)

Word Colony combines the pursuit of trivia with the challenge of a word game thanks to more than 440 trivia questions with multiple choice answers. Each question appears on a card that also displays a letter and its value when scored.

On your turn turn, select a card from your hand and read the question, plus the possible answers, to the table. All other players secretly vote on which answer they believe to be correct, and each player who identifies the correct answer draws a number of cards equal to that card's value. If no one chooses the correct answer, instead you cards equal to that card's value.

Finally, you can score points by spelling words onto the table in front of you with the letter cards in hand. If you have enough cards, you may spell multiple words and score multiple times on you turn; when you spell multiple words, you use the last letter of a previously spelled word as the first letter of the new word. If anyone has only a single word in front of them — instead of a colony of at least two words — another player can steal that word (and its points) by colonizing it with a second word.

Play to a pre-determined point total.
