For Paperback: 10th Anniversary Edition, we've applied a fresh coat of paint to this deckbuilding word game including: New novel covers from a variety of artists. New starting decks add more decision making and variety to the first few turns of the game. New Genre mode gives players unique tech trees that open up novel ways to play. A quick-paced Deadline variant adds drafting to Paperback and allows for zippy simultaneous play. Typos let you nab that card that's just out of reach, but you'll pay for it later with a hard-to-use letter. Unlockable cards that continue to expand the card pool and introduce new abilities. Want to play solo? The new Spy mode pits you against an automata enemy spy who creates problems you need to address until your deck is strong enough to end the game. And a classic variant pack so that you can still play Paperback the classic way. —description from the designer
