Bankabell

The 2025 ELL deck game is Bankabell. A 1-2 player word game about using the trickier letters, buying cards, banking cards, and trying to make sets of numbers. It'll be publicly available on 1st August. To start the game, make a market of cards, draft 5 out of 10 specific cards, then each turn: MAKE A NEW WORD CHECK CARD LIMIT BANK BUY NEW CARDS Finally, in a solo game you discard 2 from the market. In a 2p game, it's now the other person's turn. The end-game is triggered when the market runs out. Score 10pts for each full set of numbers (1,2,3,4,5), 5pts for each 'partial set' of 4 different numbers, and 1pt for each other card. —description from the designer
