Description

French abstract board game that mixes a word game (players have to form the longest word) with chess pieces (each player has 2 horse pawns that he can move on a checkers style board). The calculation of the points is done as follows: two points per letter of the word minus the number of letters which remains. A no-claim bonus is granted as well. The player with the most points wins.
