🛠 About the Product

In Option, players form words while trying to make the best possible use of the available letters. The game's most distinctive feature is its letter prisms: each prism displays a letter on two sides, creating different possibilities during play.

In addition to vocabulary skills, forward planning plays an important role. The colour of the prisms, letter values and their position on the board can all influence how the game develops. As a result, a clever move can unexpectedly create new opportunities.

Option is suitable for 2 to 4 players and can be played at different levels of difficulty.

Please note: this is the original Dutch-language edition, so knowledge of the Dutch language is required for normal gameplay.
