Quick Guide

In the Madison Area? Why not drop by and play a game? Just EMail me or use the CONTACT page to send me a message!

Yes, this is my favorite thing (well, one of them:)

Need Help Choosing a Game? Once you are viewing a game, there will be a list of all the games in alphabetical order in the right panel (very nice way to scan the games, though you also can just type in a name in the search box). 

That right side panel also has a cool selection list that is just like this:

Plus here are just SOME of the games here at our house (alpha order) with a quick summary about each game (how many players, estimated time to play and complexity rating):

WordSpot

2 Players //  20 mins // Easy to learn and play

Like a page in a Word Search book … a grid of letters and you try to find words in a straight line up, down, left or right or even diagonal!

  • One of my games has 28 2×2 grid tiles and 60 translucent brown marker squares.
  • Another edition has 32 grid tiles

Make it a four player game? 32 tiles in one game plus 28 tiles in the other – 60 tiles. Instead of 4×4 with 16 tiles … 6×6 with 36 tiles … each player keeps the same number of markers to start the game (ie, 25 for each player – 26 for first player). Or perhaps two 4×4 grids (32 tiles) and you choose which one to find your word on. Or perhaps 5×5 grid (25 tiles) plus give each of the four players one grid (25+4=29 tiles) to place anywhere on any turn (just like gaining one by finding a word that has letters on 3 or more tiles)

A great quick look at dozens of Word Games (but NOT WordSpot):

Top Games I Played in 2025

For the curious … here are the top games that I played over the past year (2025):

Note: I actually played Dice Miner more than 24 times because I track it by the number of players and this is just from 3 player games (I think). Likewise I played Trails of Tucana a bit more with the larger map which I tracked separately.
