What to Expect

In 10 MAXx, players form words over 10 rounds by combining letter cards to score points. Each player starts with five cards and may exchange one before each round. Words are created using both your own cards and those of the player opposite you, adding a tactical layer to word-building.

Who Is This Game For?

This game is suitable for families and children aged 7 and up who enjoy word puzzles. With a playtime of about 30 minutes, it is a short, accessible game ideal for beginners and casual players.

How It Works

Each player receives five letter cards. At the start of each round, a player can exchange one card, with the option to reject an identical replacement. An instruction card reveals the word length needed for that round (e.g., 3 or 4 letters). Players then form words using their five cards plus the five cards of the opposing player, writing down their words. Each letter card can be used twice due to mirrored lettering.

Spelling
