EDPLAY: WORDXCHANGE ‘EXCELLENT’

edplay, the authoritative industry publication for thousands of specialty retailers, gave WORDXCHANGE an “excellent” review.

“I played with my son and his friend and we had a lot of fun stealing words,” said Vicci Cook, associate editor of edplay magazine.

“I like that you can’t make plurals by adding ‘s.’ That always feels like cheating to me. We had a nice age mix—12 (my son) to adult. I love the packaging—very classy, durable and eye-catching. The timer works great and the overall construction is excellent. Well worth the price.

“My recommendation: Excellent.”

WORDXCHANGE and WORDXCHANGE Junior are award-winning family games from Prodijeux. Using quick wits and keen strategy, players build their vocabulary and logic skills while trying to outsmart their opponents. The object of WORDXCHANGE is to steal words by adding at least one letter to any word in front of an opposing player and rearranging the letters into a new word. The catch? No word is safe, as players will only keep a just-stolen word until another player adds new letters to make a newer word and steal it a second time. The first player to complete six words wins.

The game, for two to four players, is elegantly designed and includes 126 letter tiles, 14 white plastic easels, black velvet bag, timer and game pad.

Acclaimed for its creativity, challenge and fun, WORDXCHANGE has won numerous other accolades and prestigious professional and parenting awards, including iParenting's Media Awards, Learning Magazine's Teacher's Choice Award, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio's Best Toy Award Gold Seal, Parents' Choice Silver Honor Award and Parent's Guide Award. The Canadian Toy Testing Council awarded WORDXCHANGE its highest rating. Prodijeux, Inc. (www.prodijeux.com), is a developer of educational games that offer affordable, quality entertainment for the whole family. WORDXCHANGE and WORDXCHANGE Junior are available at leading retailers everywhere.
