Palabra agrees board game geek rocks!
New edition, 1st printing "Blue Deck" box.
1st printing, most recent edition. The color bars on the cards were more detailed in later printings.
box bottom, new edition
The flat box Kondrick edition, underside. Since it's clear plastic, the view of the cards, and the game summary on the back of the rule book, serve as advertising. It makes me wonder whether this was their first edition.

Overview

From the back of the box:

THE GAME IN A NUTSHELL

Cards with color-coded letters create crafty new ways to score.

Make words from cards of mixed colors From cards all the same color (scores double) With "straights" of three or more consecutive letters With starred cards that double or triple the value of words With "flushes" (five or more cards all the same color, no word necessary) By "building" on words played by opponents In other shrewd and wily ways Get help from three wild cards that can be substituted for any letter or any color Zap your opponent's big score with point-canceling "killer-card" (Joker) Game ends when all cards are used. Highest total score wins.
