Game description from the publisher: Anyways is a fast-paced, interactive word game in which players place one letter at a time from their hand onto the board, while trying to maximize their score. Words score in every direction: horizontally, vertically and diagonally; forwards or backwards. In other words, Anyways! Players choose whether to restock their hand from the consonant bag or the vowel bag, and letters vary in value. There is a unique scoring system for this unique game. The tiles are solid wood and in black with colored letters, making for a stylish display!
