Montage

About the game

What is Montage?

Montage is a partnership word game in which each player, in turn, thinks of a word, "spells" it on the crossword-like grid using color-coded tiles – each color corresponding to one vowel and five or six consonants, e.g. yellow is A/B/C/D/Z and green is U/T/V/W/Y/X – then gives a clue, in the hopes that his partner can guess the word before either of the opponents do. In 1992, Joli Quentin Kansil revived the idea behind Montage in ¡Knock-on-Word!, a similar partnership word-guessing game.
