Wordlink is another word building game, this time with hexagonal letter tiles. Unlike in Scrabble for instance, letters can be side to side even if they do not belong to the same word. Words can go to any direction and make turns.
Each player in turn picks one letter from the bag and puts it on the board to form as many words as possible with the letters already on the board. There is a one minute time limit.
At the end of the turn, word points are calculated (each letter has a value) and added to the total.
Every sixth round, including the opening round, is a bonus round: Every player picks eight (or five, there are rule differences) letters from the bag and tries to make as long word as possible withe the letters already on the board. On the opening round, the board is empty, of course. The winner puts his/her word on the board and gets the word points plus 25 bonus points.
The game ends when all letters are used. The game can also be ended after any bonus round.
