Letter Tycoon is not like your traditional word game. This winner of the 2015 Mensa Mind Games award is the perfect mix of alphabet fun and cunning strategy and intellectual genius. Each player starts off with 7 letter cards in their hand and 3 community cards are laid out. Use the 7 cards along with the 3 community cards to create the most valuable words to earn money and stocks. Purchase as many letter patents as you can and earn money every time your opponent uses them to build their words. Look out especially for the letter patents with special powers. Have the most patents, stocks and money at the end and become the Letter Tycoon.
