Paperback: The Game is a unique deck-building game about spelling words and creating novels.

Earn new cards. As you spell out words, you'll earn points and pennies for each scoring letter. Use the pennies to buy better letter cards for your deck, and nab those precious novels in the stack to win.

Spell your way to the top. The player with the most stars by the end of the game is the winner. Spell and sell your way to the top of the charts in Paperback: The Game. Customize new games with either local players or computer controlled IA of three difficulty levels and customize the game to your liking.

Take turns to outsmart your opponents. Paperback can be played between two to four players. Each player takes turns spelling words with their deck of cards and buying new cards for their deck to build better words. Make sure to get the novels on the right, because once two of those stacks are gone, the game ends.

What is it about?

Paperback: The Game ($3.99) by Fowers Games Inc. is the mobile port of the physical deck-building card game (http://www.paperbackgame.com). If you’ve played the physical game and love the rising trend of boardgames going digital, such as Exploding Kittens (http://appadvice.com/appnn/2016/01/in-exploding-kittens-the-only-way-to-win-is-to-not-blow-up) and Sushi Go! (http://appadvice.com/review/sushi-go), then you will enjoy Paperback: The Game, especially if you love word games like Scrabble (http://appadvice.com/appnn/tag/scrabble).

Why we love it

The art is stunning, the music is fun and delightful, and the gameplay is a nice mix of deck-building and word game. It's a fresh new take on traditional word games.

App Store Description

You are an author trying to finish kitschy paperback novels. Complete Westerns, Science Fiction, Romance or even a Crime Noir. Live the dream — and maybe pay the bills.

Word-building meets deck-building in the unique game Paperback. Players start with a deck of letter cards and wild cards. This is like their own bag of ‘scrabble’ tiles. With each hand of cards you make a word and score it. This score is how much money you have to purchase more cards for your deck. Collect cool letters with abilities, such as drawing more cards or double word score. Buy Novel cards to gain ‘fame’ points to win the game!
