Download or read book The Book of Word Games written by David Parlett and published by Echo Point Books & Media. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you were to imagine your ideal guide to a book of word games, who would you picture? Does an urbane, witty writer come to mind? How about a widely recognized authority and historian of games? Perhaps you'd want someone who successfully creates games himself and has written extensively on a wide variety of games? And oh what the heck let's make him British to add a bit of extra charm. Well, if that sounds like the ideal game guide, look no further. David Parlett is an internationally recognized master of games. The author of many books, including the Oxford History of Board Games and The Penguin Book of Card Games, he has also created many games including Hare & Tortoise, which has sold over 3 million copies. In "The Book of Word Games" Parlett presents a practical and entertaining guide to word games and how to play them. He offers clear and witty introductions to over 150 word games, indicating degree of difficulty, appropriate number of players, and age range (many of the games are great for the classroom or to give your kids some fun while improving their language skills). Parlett also gives a wealth of interesting etymological knowledge, including word origins, phonetic facts and interesting tidbits like the longest word in the English language. There is something for everyone, from new readers to sophisticated word connoisseurs. From well-known favorites such as Boggle and Consequences to lesser-known but equally enjoyable games such as Bacronyms and Aesop's Mission, "The Book of Word Games" presents a wide-ranging collection of word games for verbivores of all ages.

Book excerpt: Utterly unique, word and word/number games for the aficionado and casual player alike. A new vision in word games giving every player an original and satisfying experience! This introductory games booklet from Word Power Games has 22 original, word and word/number games (inclusive of variations and levels) with a total of 68 games to play. I wanted to design a new range of word games which give the player the power to utilise their vocabulary skills and so therefore, these games are designed to be different from the usual word game formats found in newspapers and magazines - in that I don't provide any clues or solutions for the players. This then is where the vocabulary and numerical skills of each player helps them provide their 'own solutions' for each and every game they play, thereby giving them the 'power'... which also means - Every single game they play will be unique to them!

Download or read book Word Play written by Vivian Lee Snodgrass and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Word Play is a riveting book regarding an interactive game played with words and God. Inside its pages are the clues to understanding the game. The desired result from playing is to know God better. This book addresses confusion generated by the daily use of words without concern for their actual meanings, more specifically, the words used by Christians. It is a book about God and not religion. Some may discover the contents of Word Play strenuous. Word Play is designed to make readers think. There is a good chance your brain will hurt while reading Word Play. If so then I fulfilled my mission. Enlightenment from critical thinking opens the gateway to the heart. When there is clarity there is understanding and where there is understanding there is power. Word Play was written as a tool to access God's power through words. It is not a book to be taken lightly. Word Play has a new and different approach for understanding more regarding the power of words. Anyone who desires to know more about this power from God should read Word Play. The lessons learned took over two decades to receive. It took almost two years to write about them. Warning: The awareness resulting from reading Word Play may be overwhelming to some. This is not a book for children.
