Goblin Cruciverbalist Rulings
- Oct 7, 2022 Each time you spell a word, you can use the first letter of each permanent you control only once in that word. For example, if you control three permanents starting with A, B, and N, you can spell out the words “Ban” or “Nab,” but you can’t spell out “Banana” unless you gain control of two more A’s and another N.
- Oct 7, 2022 The token doesn’t have any abilities and doesn’t usually do much except give you a vowel to work with when spelling words.
- Oct 7, 2022 The token will have one of five names: A, E, I, O, or U. It won’t be named “your choice of A, E, I, O, or U.”
- Oct 7, 2022 When determining the first letter of a name, ignore all spaces and punctuation, including blank lines.
- Oct 7, 2022 You may consult a dictionary if not all players agree that you have chosen a cromulent word.
