Collect game-breaking modifier books to clear the goals of this anagram roguelike.
Here is an excerpt from Watchword's Steam description:
Watchword is a roguelike deck builder about playing words to beat increasingly difficult trials with rule-breaking synergies and combos.
A good vocabulary will certainly help, but it will mostly take careful planning and strategy to beat each trial.
Invent crazy new words and use special symbols to play a board that scores massively! Fill your bag and customize your collection of pieces.
Purchase books to ramp up your point scoring. Each book has a unique power that can help (or potentially hinder) depending on what pieces you use. Some books completely change the rules of the game. Explore, and discover clever combinations!
Endlessly re-playable: no two runs are the same. Chase a new build, unlock more difficult trials, and find hidden unlockables. After each trial, visit the Forum where you'll be able to upgrade your run, buy new items, and prepare for your next trial
