Box Cover
Back of the Box
March 23, 2011: Six players take on the game of Jargon. Much spelling of words, including proper nouns and abbreviations, ensued, resulting in this final board after each player had four turns. (The stack of tiles with T on top is not part of the board.)

Overview

Jargon, is like Scrabble. The board features a familiar if slightly skewed grid for placing letter tiles. Every round, every turn of Jargon features a particular lingo or category: could be "Military" or "Travel" -- there's 40 in all. The twist is that you get points by making longer words, no matter what the letters AND you can use slang, abbreviations, names, whatever. Game play is also much faster.
