5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Game combining vocabulary, spelling and chance, August 6, 2005

Lexogon has now become my favorite game - I've played it with family and friends many times. Game play is very straightforward and the materials and play tokens are top-notch. Because there are two "decks" of clues - one Intermediate difficulty and one Standard - I can play this game with younger kids and adults of varying skill level. It's really like buying 2 games in 1.

The only drawback to playing this game is that I realized how terrible my vocabulary is! I figure a few months of playing this game will help.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Fun, August 7, 2005

This game is truly fun for all. It is intellectually stimulating, yet not as intimidating as other vocabulary games such as scrabble. The alternate playing rules allow people with different vocabularies to play together. The game was very easy to figure out. My friends and I played for about an hour and had a great time.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flexmotron!, September 26, 2005

Lexogon has turned out to be a great game. A friend bought it for me as a gift because I'm a board game player, in general. I hadn't heard of it, but enjoyed it straight away. My girlfriend and I played with another couple and we all had a blast.

As the other reviews stated, it's an easy game to learn. You're up and running in no time. More than that, it's a lot more fun than I thought a word game would be. The rules about how you choose your words make it a lot of fun, and really equalize different vocab levels.

I would think Lexogon could be played and enjoyed by anyone reading age and up. You end up exposing yourself to a lot of words, and it affects the way you think about the language. Most importantly, of course, it makes for a good time. We've played in groups of 3 and up to groups of 9 or 10. There is a great energy surrounding the game and people whisper and then yell and get into the competition.

I recommend it!
