play time

I'm a huge board game fan. I've been known to reserve weekends to play Settlers of Catan and Pictionary. So stumbling upon Word Spot on the Barnes and Noble site had me in serious tickles.

"Letterpress craftsmen of centuries past used to hide words within a block of text as a challenge to their peers. They called this past time vedere parola. To celebrate this rich tradition Front Porch Classics has created WordSpot, a timeless game where players try to find hidden words among an arranged board of lettered tiles. The first player to use up all their markers finding words is the winner! Easy to learn, yet challenging and different every time. For ages 8 and up."
