Shenanigrams

About this board game

Shenanigrams is a word game for 2–6 players that takes about 30 minutes to play. In this fast-moving contest, players use stealth, strategy, anagrams, and wordy wickedness to build and steal as many words as possible.

Players take turns playing one letter tile, gradually creating a shared word grid. When a player completes a word, they tag it. Those tags mark claimed words—but no claim is completely safe.

On a turn, players can choose to continue building the grid or make a bold move against an opponent. A tagged word can be stolen by adding, inserting, or replacing a letter tile, turning the shared grid into a constantly changing battle of words.

• Play one letter tile at a time to form words.
• Tag completed words to claim them.
• Steal opponents’ tagged words by adding, inserting, or replacing a letter.
• Race to use all your tags and shout “SHENANIGRAMS” to win.

Easy to learn and quick to play, Shenanigrams is designed as a grab-and-go game that can keep kids, teens, and adults entertained. Its mix of word-building and sneaky takeovers offers plenty of tension without requiring players to already love word games.

Released in 2023, Shenanigrams brings a lively head-to-head challenge to game nights. Watch the grid, protect your words, and wait for the perfect opportunity to turn an opponent’s hard-earned claim into your own.
