Description

A word game, in Catalan, with 110 cards, each one with a letter (distributed according to their relative abundance in Catalan). Each player is dealt six cards and six more cards are placed face up on the table. In his turn, a player places a card from his hand below one of the six face up cards, forming a column, or expanding an already created column, with just one condition: all the letters in a column must always form a correct word (not taking into account the order of the cards); then receives a new card from the draw pile. When a column reaches five cards, the cards are retired and placed horizontally in the correct order; then all players can attempt to form a longer word with their hand cards, and whoever makes the longest word gains the cards. When the draw pile is empty the game ends and the winner is the player who has formed most words.
