Description
You are invited to an evening of wordplay.
In Handsome, you will create words using a common pool of letters and personal letter cards from your hand.
However, to score points, you're not only trying to create the longest word, you're trying to create words using the most cards of a single suit. With three suits available to score, every round you will see multiple opportunities for each player to score. The game ends when a player reaches 9 points.
Released in the June 2019 Board Game of the Month Club $20+ package.

Quotes (from this video)
- it's just really great to have that option here
- Sunday is the day to go most of my plays were at home but we have almost an equal amount on BGA again that definitely contributes to the frequency and how many games I was able to play it's just really great to have that option here
- I think the one thing that was a letdown for me was that you're not accounting for where you are in the lane
- I'm really loving these in hand micro games lately
- I would rather play ashes in the future
