CWARDS Card & Word Game 1983 - Patent 4,333,656

Rare find for word-game lovers! CWARDS (1983) blends rummy-style play with word-building using a custom alphabet deck. Designed by Steven Sommer and based on US Patent 4,333,656, each card shows a letter plus a value tied to letter frequency, so your choices matter when you open, extend, or even steal words. This copy is pre-owned and in nice shape for its age: the box shows light shelf wear, while components look clean. Includes deck, rule sheet, and four Letter Values cards (see photos for what’s inside). If you enjoy Scrabble-adjacent strategy, vintage oddities, or indie 80s games, this is a cool conversation piece that actually plays fast with 2–4 players. Hard to find, especially with the patent marked on the cards/box. Priced with offers in mind; happy to consider reasonable bundles.
