Product Description
Anagramania Junior Edition is an entertaining and educational word game that parents and children can play together with equal enjoyment! Both will enjoy the fun of uncovering answers to the clues by unscrambling the letters of one or more highlighted keywords in each clue. The first player to answer earns a move of two spaces on the board - provided, of course, that his/her answer is correct! Other players are then given a minute more to complete their efforts to solve the clue, and if correct, they move their play pieces a single space.nnIn the basic method of play, it's a straightforward race to the center of the board. An alternative method of play called the 'Spoke-n-Word' game, uses a 30-sided letter die, to increase the fun of the board race and to 'level the playing field' among players with different anagram-solving skills. Teachers who have used Anagramania Junior Edition as a classroom game have told us that their students not only have a great time playing it, but that they see tremendous improvements in the students' language skills as a result.nnWinner of ten prestigious awards, Anagramania Junior Edition was one of the most highly acclaimed new games of 2005.

Anagramania, by Karmel Games, is a fun new twist on the Victorian parlor game which was usually called "Anagrams". There are three available editions of the game, junior, intermediate and advanced. We found that junior was a good place to start to get the hang of the game, but quickly stepped up to intermediate. I haven't played advanced, but judging by the difficulty of intermediate, I think it's probably pretty tough.
In Stefan Fatsis's book "Word Freak", about the competitive Scrabble circuit, he described how expert Scrabble players often quiz each other on anagrams, giving all of the letters of a 15-letter word and seeing who can unscramble them first. For any Scrabble player moving into the competitive circuit, I can recommend this game for practicing your anagrams and getting a hang for the art of unscrambling.
This game is not just a warm-up excersize for Scrabblers, though, it's plenty of fun on its own! Play the junior version with your kids to practice their spelling and get them to think about words and phonemes in an abstract way. Play one of the tougher editions as an adult party game for an intellectual challenge. It's very versatile and very fun.
