Abstract

Procédé de conduite d'un jeu de mots, consistant à affecter à l'ensemble des joueurs un paquet de cartes, chaque paquet contenant des cartes alphabétiques, chaque carte alphabétique comportant d'un côté une valeur numérique correspondant à une lettre de l'alphabet, et des cartes blanches, chaque carte blanche comportant d'un côté un symbole blanc et une valeur numérique correspondant audit symbole blanc. Le jeu comprend un paquet unique de cartes d'activité destiné à être utilisé par chaque joueur, chacune desdites cartes d'activité indiquant une action que des joueurs doivent entreprendre tour à tour. Chaque joueur forme un mot contenant au moins deux lettres ou jusqu'à douze lettres en plaçant lesdites cartes alphabétiques face dessous de manière à orthographier ledit mot sans montrer les lettres de l'alphabet dudit mot aux autres joueurs. Lesdits joueurs ont le choix de masquer ledit mot formé par des cartes blanches placées face dessous sur lesdites cartes alphabétiques; lesdites cartes blanches ne peuvent être utilisées qu'au début et/ou à la fin dudit mot formé. Un premier joueur désigné sélectionne une carte d'activité dans ledit paquet de cartes d'activité et entreprend l'action indiquée sur ladite carte d'activité. Le premier joueur désigné continue de demander à un autre joueur quelconque une carte alphabétique ou une carte blanche. Un marqueur prend note des points gagnés par ledit premier joueur en même temps, ou après que ladite action indiquée a été entreprise et/ou après que ladite carte alphabétique ou ladite carte blanche a été révélée. Chaque joueur sélectionne ensuite tour à tour une carte d'activité dans ledit paquet de cartes d'activité lorsque son tour arrive et entreprend l'action indiquée sur ladite carte d'activité sélectionnée. Chaque joueur continue ensuite tour à tour de demander à un autre joueur quelconque une carte alphabétique ou une carte blanche. Un marqueur prend note des points gagnés par ledit joueur en même temps, ou après que chacune desdites actions indiquées a été entreprise et/ou après que ladite carte alphabétique ou ladite carte blanche a été révélée, et ce jusqu'à ce qu'un joueur final se retrouve avec une ou plusieurs cartes non révélées. Par la suite, chaque joueur, autre que ledit joueur final, tente tour à tour de deviner le mot du joueur final. Si un joueur autre que le joueur final devine le mot du joueur final, le procédé consiste à affecter un score final audit joueur qui a deviné ledit mot dudit joueur final, à ajouter le score de chaque joueur et à déterminer le joueur gagnant à partir des scores ajoutés. Si aucun joueur autre que ledit joueur final ne devine le mot dudit joueur final, le procédé consiste à affecter un score final audit joueur final, à ajouter le score de chaque joueur et à déterminer le joueur gagnant à partir des scores ajoutés.
