Word Thief
Stealing the words right out of an opponent's mouth--or, in this case, hand--has never
been so accepted as in this vocabulary-building board game. Designed for two to four
players, Wordthief involves a deck of letter cards, each of which is assigned a point
value based on its frequency of occurrence in English words. The obvious way to create
words is to use the seven cards dealt to you. The more interesting way to accumulate
points requires that you "steal" an opponent's word and build a new word with more
letters from your hand. The player who makes the most words of the greatest point
value wins the round.
An engaging alternative to Scrabble, this game requires no playing board. Two card
decks, a generous score pad, and 100 chips (counters) pack neatly into a box the
size of a standard notebook.

at the British International Toy Fair.
