Seriously, One Up! comes in a handy travel tin that's perfectly portable magic and makes a fantastic gift.
Don't stay (or leave) home without it.

How to play.
One Up! takes a nimble mind, as everyone tries to be the first person to make a word from the tiles that are face-down in the center. Take turns flipping one tile over at a time: first an "A", then an "R" and then a "T". Shout it out, and don't be shy–"ART!"
Keep turning over tiles one at a time until another word of three or more letters can be made.
Where our hero, Johnny Mustard, takes you on a quick tour:
Stealing is the name of the game.
But wait a sec! The game has a cool, cutthroat twist: any player's words can be stolen by anyone else by simply adding a letter. If an "M" is turned over, and since you already have the word "ART", I can call out "MART" and take it from you. It's my word now, so pound sand. But anyone can snatch it back if an "S" is flipped over and they yell out "SMART." Damn!
All words are in play at all times. The player with the most words at the end wins.
What One Up! comes with:
• 101 custom-made solid wood letter tiles.
• The wild "uppity" tile that can be used as any letter.
• Concise and easy-to-read instruction sheet.
• Classy and perfectly-portable metal travel tin.
• One million words and worlds of fun in your pocket.
*Continental U.S. only.
