Handsome

About the game

What is Handsome?

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.
