First of all, what a treat to have a Halloween-themed board with orange and purple highlights and a spooky results grid. In the words of Strands, “Well done! »
This game was very much a trick-or-treat affair for me. I started off well, seeing the SKULL and then the FEMUR, but after collecting those and the third most obvious bone, the FIBULA, I stranded.
Luckily I found a lot of non-gaming words in the pumpkin patch and clues gave me ULNA and RADIUS and after getting the spangram I was able to dig up STERNUM and HUMERUS.
