Paperback (2014)

“This is currently one of my favorite games, as it combines all the fun of deckbuilding games (which I really enjoy) with word games (which I also really enjoy) into a great package.”

“Putting everything else aside for the moment, by far the best thing about Paperback is that it occupies the perfect niche between the hardcore and the casual.”

“Paperback from Tim [Fowler] is fantastic and I wholeheartedly recommend this game. It will be going on my shelf.”(12:30)

“If you look at this and think a gimmick you know deck builder plus Scrabble then stop right there cuz that's not even close to reality with this this is a great game I think”(6:56)

“Paperback is just a pure word game, it's much quicker, it's great for couples because you're never going to get annoyed at the other player. It's got this brilliant box that makes the game super easy to set up, the artwork's great.”

“I think this is an excellent, excellent game. I really like this one. It combines Scrabble and deck building very, very well. It's a lot of fun.”(12:02)

“I typically dislike spelling based word games but Paperback elevates the genre since you get to pick the cards that you are adding to your deck rather than it just being random.”

“I am so impressed with this game. So, um, it automatic collection automatic. So great. The deck building aspect is cool, but it's mostly a cool way to have a word game. I like it. It works so well.”(7:05)

“For me, Paperback is my favourite word game, narrowly edging out it's pre-quill, Hardback. I love the deck building and the trade-off of buying wild cards that clog up the deck but provide the points you need to win the game.”

“This is a great spelling vocabulary game, you're also exercising that working memory skill, and you're trying to do that balancing between victory points at the end and coins throughout the game.”(8:02)

“If you love word games and cooperative board games, then you’re probably going to be a big fan of Paperback. The cooperative mode isn’t just an extra variant; it is a full-fledged game that is a ton of fun to play. I’m not even a fan of most word games and I really like Paperback!”
