Handsome is an elegant word game for 2 to 6 players using only 18 consonant cards. Featuring a unique combination of word building and set collection, players compete to create words that will score in each suit (bow ties, necklaces and bolos) using a combination of 5 shared cards and a secret hand available only to them.

In each round, players secretly write down a word they can using the available consonants. Players can add any vowels they need to create their word except ‘Y’. Each card features one of 3 suits and the player who uses the most cards of that suit in their word scores a point for the round. Players may score in multiple suits. The player with the longest word also scores a point. The first player to reach 9 points wins!

Can you create the most Handsome words?
