Introduction to Build Word Challenge Cards

 

Build Word Challenge (BWC) cards should provide entertainment for young and old alike. As the BWC game or other games are played with words being a dominant part, the game(s) provide a degree of learning that most other card games do not. You learn new word(s) from other players or from visiting the dictionary to see if you can make a word from letters in your hand.

 

The cards may be used to play a solitaire game or other games with as many as nine players.The level of difficulty can be set making the game being played easier or more difficult.

 

The card deck contains sixty-four (64) cards containing all letters of the alphabet, and two star (wild) cards. There are two of each consonant and four of each vowel. The cards use four different colors allowing them to be used to play a multiple of other card games and to change the degree of difficulty of the games.

 

Each card in deck contains a value which is used in some games which use points in scoring. The Star card has a value also, but it is “zero” when building a word. The value of the Star card when building a word is it is allowed to be any letter needed. However, the value of the Star card is used if it is an unused card left in your hand in some games when hand/game ends.

 

The cards could be used as a learning tool for young children to learn the alphabet or spelling.
