Jim, i love you for finding me this game. The rest of the family, however.......

If ren and zoon are words, I give up on this game.

-5 for bein' a poose

well ren was a last gasp chance (apparently it's an accepted abbreviation for rennaisance and Renew), but a zoon is the next stage of a fertilized egg and a godsend to scrabble players.

As opposed to what type of games?

third (and I think final) attenpt on 666: 627

Games I can WIN at!! :mecry: But seriously, my vocabulary is much larger than the average person's, and much smaller than that of the avid player of word games. What this means is, when I play a game like Scrabble or Boggle or something, I often either win big or lose big. I don't consider either one very fun.

But what bugs me is more fundamental than that. I prefer "self-contained" games. I just made that term up, but what I mean is, all the information you need to play is in the game itself. Of course games like that tend to be number games--Rummikub, Racko, etc. If I'm playing Scrabble, whether I know words like "zoon" has a direct impact on how well I do. Of course if I felt like it I could study up on good Scrabble words. That might increase my score, but it wouldn't increase my enjoyment of the game.

New high score for me, woohoo! [And I wonder if 'woohoo' is a word according to this game's dictionary?]
