After the first lecture, we were given some board games to play with. My group chose "Up Words", some kind of scrabble but the twist is that you can stack it up to 5 times. Sadly the instructions was not in the box and we had a really hard time finding out the scoring system.

The game play is pretty straightforward, if you played scrabble before this game won't be hard to learn. I just had a problem with the scoring system since there are different scoring for the stack. The "Qu" was also confusing and we didn't know if the "u" in it is part of the tile.

Overall it was fun in the beginning but in the middle the joy just starts to disappear.
