Anagramania!
This game is different from other anagram-based board games. The clues in the game actually give a suggestion or description of the solution. Players need not wait for their turn to solve a clue. Instead all players compete at the same time to find the solution. Correct answers allow you to move forward on the game board, the opposite for wrong answers. The first to reach the centre circle of the board wins the game. 2-6 players. Ages 13 and up. Junior edition also available!
Quoridor
