A Bluffing Word Game: Letter Head Basics

Letter Head cards look like a typical playing card deck, but with letters instead of numbers and points instead of suits. Use them to build the highest scoring words and win the game.

Missing a vowel? Use a wild card! Or bluff! When spelling their words, players can choose to put some letters face down. A successful bluff will earn you points. Incorrectly calling a bluff earns your opponent points. May the best bluffer win!

Letter Head is a print-on-demand game. When you place your order at DriveThruCards, you'll receive an immediate PDF download of the rules, and then you'll get the printed cards in the mail. Or you can buy the print-and-play version and make your cards at home!
