You are a paperback author trying to finish novels for your editor. Complete Westerns, Science Fiction, Romance or even the rare Best-Seller. Live the dream — and maybe pay the bills. This is Paperback Card Game - Deluxe Edition.

Word-building meets deck-building in the unique game Paperback. Players start with a deck of letter cards and wild cards. Each hand they form words, and purchase more powerful letters based on how well their word scored. Most letters have abilities that activate when they are used in a word, such as drawing more cards or double letter score. Players buy wilds to gain victory points. Variant included for cooperative play.

This is a deluxified version of the 10th anniversary edition.

For Paperback: 10th Anniversary Edition, we've applied a fresh coat of paint to this deckbuilding word game including:

New novel covers from a variety of artists.
New starting decks add more decision making and variety to the first few turns of the game.
New Genre mode gives players unique tech trees that open up novel ways to play.
A quick-paced Deadline variant adds drafting to Paperback and allows for zippy simultaneous play.
Typos let you nab that card that's just out of reach, but you'll pay for it later with a hard-to-use letter.
Unlockable cards that continue to expand the card pool and introduce new abilities.

Want to play solo? The new Spy mode pits you against an automata enemy spy who creates problems you need to address until your deck is strong enough to end the game.

And a classic variant pack so that you can still play Paperback the classic way.
