Jargon

Jargon is a deckbuilder where you build words on a board, collect books that change the rules and combine effects as the game grows more demanding. You play Buzzwords to unlock perks, then adapt to accumulating modifiers, curses and other twists.

Books and items

More than 60 books change how words score and behave. Items can enchant letters and reshape the board, giving you different ways to build combinations.

Between rounds, you visit a small bookshop stocked with classic literature, enchanted runes, special stickers and, occasionally, bombs.

Game modes

The game has four modes, each with five escalating difficulty levels. A jazz soundtrack plays as you experiment with your build, whether you carefully plan your turns or let its effects spiral out of control.
