League of Lexicon

Product Information

He published his first board game, The City of Kings, in 2018 and now works on other games and organising events in the local area. For the moment, JOYO works with 6 smart board and puzzle-based games that cover themes like sci-fi, magic, and mystery.

There will soon be a global edition, written by Gaston Dorren, a lexicographer who has written two books on language; and a slang edition, written by Jonathon Green, the world’s foremost slang lexicographer. However, the actual game involves 2-6 players each taking a character card that has six icons on the bottom.Get the question right and you draw a face-down artefact card; the 45 artefacts each show an icon (there are five artefacts with each icon), and to win you need to collect five of the six icons on your character card and then answer a 'Decider Question' (ie: a question chosen by the other players). We've focused more on the question categories than the game because, like most trivia games, the 'game' aspect is actually less important. Although it's certainly designed to be played as a Trivial Pursuit-type game with a six-sided die and various rules about trading cards, the quiz cards can also just be used for more relaxed casual mini Q and A sessions (which is indeed one of the variants suggested by the makers).

Show what you know, and find out what you don’t, in League of the Lexicon, the most successful word game in the history of Kickstarter. Likewise, you may be asked to identify the correct origin of a word, or the proper use of a piece of punctuation. Despite the warnings Joshua proceeded, he decided to launch without review videos (something I wouldn’t recommend) and despite only having 102 backers on his last campaign he was confident he would get the backing. I haven't played an actual game, other than when my son visited and we all sat around just reading from the cards and not keeping score.Questions cover all sorts of word topics such as etymology, archaic words, grammar, origin stories, and definitions.
