In addition to making apps like Highland and Weekend Read, my little company makes physical stuff, including Writer Emergency Pack and One Hit Kill.
Today, we’re releasing a new game called AlphaBirds. It’s a word game like Scrabble® or Boggle®, but faster and more fun.1
AlphaBirds is ridiculously simple to learn.
- On your turn, draw two cards.
- Play one card in front of you, and one in front of any other player.
- Make words if you can. Longer words are worth more points.
Yes: there are more rules. But that’s the gist. Most players pick it up in 30 seconds or less.
We’ve been playing AlphaBirds in the office every Friday afternoon for more than a year. It’s the perfect game for lunchtime or beer o’clock. You can carry on a conversation while playing, and don’t have to keep things in your hand. You draw; you play; you’re finished until it’s your turn again. Most games last about 10 minutes.
AlphaBirds isn’t a Kickstarter. It’s available today. It’s $19 + shipping.
For now, AlphaBirds is only available through our own store. If you like word games, I think you’ll dig it.
- As a fan of both Scrabble and Boggle, I stand by this statement. AlphaBirds is more fun than either of these games. ↩
