Alrghtgms: RNSM (DY)

RNSM (DY)

2024 / Wrd crd gm / 1-4 plyrs

Not going to keep that up. Button Shy's wallet games are renowned for ingeniously fitting complex games into small packages, often achieved through multifunction cards that can be flipped and rotated for a variety of purposes. RNSM is the most opposite case I've seen yet.

A simple but tricky word game that skips vowels, its plain letter cards are so simple to substitute using Scrabble tiles or going method with real newspaper and magazine cuttings that paying for the official game seems pointless, especially when it's not even that far beyond Lex Go.


Vexing Letters ***

The customary mini expansion adds 6 less common letters to the pile and an optional twin word variant that seems like the preferable way to play, since I'm stuck at 4 letters either way.
