Toys and Games Reviews of WORD THIEF
Customer Review: Great game for the whole family!
Summary: 5 Stars
My entire extended family just loves this game. We play it with the kids since you are able to play at your own skill level. The young ones, who are eight and eleven, use words from their vocabulary while learning from the adults. The kids just love to steal the words from the adults! They are so proud of themselves. And we're proud of them too! It's a great way to bring the generations together.Customer Review: wordthief will steal your time!

Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I have been playing Scrabble for years now, and I wanted to get another good two person game for us to play. I stumbled across this in a catalogue after giving up on various game and toy stores, which seemed to be filled with things that I wouldn't consider actual games (mostly touchy-feely "sharing" games like "What Would Jesus Do?" and "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus- The Game"). "Wordthief" is actually a fun *game*, and a good edition to the Scrabble like repertoire.It's a nice combination of card games (in that suits matter, and keeping track of which cards have been dealt, and which remain- a handy letter/suit index is provided- actually can be important) and word games like Scrabble. Unlike Scrabble, however, there is no chance to "dump" your letters, so a bad letter draw can be even more frustrating.
We also played this this past weekend with my sister, and I think the 3-person game is a little bit more interesting than even the 2-person game, in that the word-stealing strategy becomes a bit more important and prominent part of the game.
Overall, I like it a lot and would highly recommend it.
Customer Review: A fantastic word game with an extra strategic element.
Summary: 5 Stars
A must for lovers of crosswords and card games alike. What I like most about Wordthief is how it adds gin/rummy-type strategy into the word game format. This game can really get your competitive juices flowing. It has definitely joined my classic games list!
