Shark-infested spelling makes an irresistible learning game for kids age 6 and up! Word Pirates combines spelling and logic in a game fun for adults and kids. To play, each pirate takes a turn rolling letter dice and making a word out of the letters. The goal is to build a pathway of words from the starting point to the center of the board containing pirate treasure--without getting eaten by a shark. The game is similar to Scrabble®, in that players can build off of each other’s words. Players practice strategy-making, because they can plot to block their enemies’ paths with rock walls.
One reviewer says award-winning Word Pirates is great for a family game night, because the “randomness of the letters rolled levels the playing field between adults and children.”
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD--Small parts. Not for children younger than three years.
