League of the Lexicon

About this board game

League of the Lexicon is a word game for 2–6 players with an approximately 90-minute play time, created for language lovers, pedants and the incurably curious.

With 2,000 questions across five categories, the game explores the many fascinating corners of language. Questions range from etymology and definitions to word usage and archaic meanings, offering a carefully researched challenge for anyone who enjoys discovering how words work.

A dice roll determines the category players must answer. Correct answers earn Artefacts, but collecting knowledge is only part of the challenge: the correct Artefacts are what earn victory.

• Five categories covering diverse aspects of language
• Questions on etymology, definitions, word usage and archaic meanings
• Two difficulty levels for a wider range of players
• Stunning hand-drawn artwork

The two difficulty levels make it possible for younger players to join in too, while the breadth of the questions gives experienced word enthusiasts plenty to explore. Each roll can send the game in a different linguistic direction, from the origins of words to meanings that have fallen out of everyday use.

Released in 2022, League of the Lexicon combines a substantial collection of questions with distinctive visual presentation. Its hand-drawn artwork and carefully researched content make it a striking choice for groups who enjoy language, trivia and the pleasure of an intriguing word.
