Deluxe Edition of ‘Unspeakable Words’ Coming This Summer
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015
Playroom Entertainment will release a new deluxe edition of Unspeakable Words, with new artwork by John Kovalic, this summer, according to hobby industry news website ICv2.
The Call of Cthulhu word game, designed by James Ernest and Mike Selinker, with artwork by Tony Steele won Games Magazine‘s 2007 Word Game of the Year and appeared on the second season of TableTop.
Players compete to form words from the letter cards in their hand, where each letter is worth points based on the angles of the letter. The goal is to make the highest scoring word possible, but the player must test the strength of the word against a roll of a d20. If the roll is equal to or higher than the value of the word, the player is safe. If it is lower, the player loses a piece of sanity, represented by Cthulhu pawns. The first player to reach 100 points (without losing all their sanity) wins.
Originally intended for 2-6 players, the Deluxe Edition will support up to eight players. The edition includes a host of extra items, including a glow-in-the-dark custom d20 engraved with Cthulhu, a screen printed dice/pawn bag; plus 10 of the 40 Cthulhu pawns (in 8 colors) will be glow-in-the dark.
In addition to the Deluxe Edition, Playroom will be reprinting the classic edition ofUnspeakable Words for the 6th time. That edition includes 30 single-colored pawns, and is suitable for up to six players. Classic and deluxe editions can be combined to host up to 14 players.

Pick up the single cards you’ve been waiting for, booster boxes, packs and more. Battleground Games & Hobbies is you one-stop shop for all your Magic the Gathering needs! You can also order all these items from our online store and have them shipped right to your door, too.
Plus, please don’t forget to join us this evening for our special Fat Pack Challenge event, held the release day of every new Magic set! Check out the details below. We look forward to seeing you there!
Battleground’s Fat Pack Challenge is back for Fate Reforged!
Fate Reforged (FRF) will be released on Friday, January 23rd and we will have a full line-up of events for you to crack packs, build decks and play Magic at both of our stores! The weekend will kick off with our flagship Sealed Deck style event.
The Battleground Fat Pack Challenge is taking place on Friday night, 1/23/15, at both locations (run as our FNM). These are the ultimate sealed events – where you open packs, build a deck and play with just the contents of a Fate Reforged Fat Pack!
The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive an Fate Reforged Fat Pack with which to build a 40 card deck. Players may use ONLY what is inside of their Fat Pack to construct their decks. No additional land will be provided!
This time instead of awarding prizes randomly throughout the event, EVERYONE that enrolls into the Fat Pack Challenge will receive a Battleground playmat at the beginning of the event! (while supplies last) Player’s in the event will be competing for glory and a super sweet commemorative plaque. No other prizes will be award for this event.
We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground location:
Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Fat Pack Sealed**
Date: January 23rd, 2015 a FRIDAY
Time: 7:00pm
Entrance Fee: $40.00
