WORDXCHANGE EARNS ITS 13TH AWARD
Wins Norway’s first-ever board game award

WORDXCHANGE earned another prestigious award this week.

A panel of jurists in Norway announced that the BSG Award would be presented to WORDXCHANGE in the trivia/party game category – the 13th award recognizing WORDXCHANGE for its skill, fun and excitement.

WORDXCHANGE is a game of quick wits and keen strategy. Available to play as a board game, or electronically on CD and on the Web, WORDXCHANGE players build their vocabulary and logic skills while trying to outsmart their opponents.

“We are gratified to win Norway’s prestigious BSG Award,” said the game’s maker, Prodijeux, in a statement. “WORDXCHANGE has built a very strong following around the world. It has universal appeal. Everyone enjoys the fun and strategy involved in the game, and people at all levels can compete.”

WORDXCHANGE’s board 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. It is also available on CD and online, at www.highergames.com.

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. But 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.

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; Parent's Guide Award; Dr. Toy’s 10 Best Games, 100 Best Children’s Products and Best Vacation Children’s Product awards; Quebec Consumers Association Award; Canadian Toy Testing Council Award; and two Love at First Sight awards.
