Nomen (The Word Chain Game)

Nomen (The Word Chain Game)

It is fair to say that everyone has likely played a few word chain games in their life. For those who have never called them this way, "Word chain games" are games in which players come up with words that adhere to a specific set of requirements. The most commons ones are to begin with a certain letter or to belong to a category or to contain a specific combination of letters (a double letter, three vowels...) This is likely the most common game you have played when you were kids to kill the time during a long trip. In my case the choice was always among these games or "I spy with my little eye".....

"Nomen — The word Chain Game" is a great adaptation of these very common types of game into a boardgame. In this case, the developers tried to offer a scalable experience to challenge both children and adults by providing a very interesting set of rules and components.
