When we were living in New York City with three young'uns in diapers, we would invite friends over to play a very popular word board game. My son Neuman, pictured, would sit in my lap and start fidgeting, get really bored, and then try to eat the letter tiles. He might get to sink his teeth into one or two of them before he would eventually fall asleep. I didn't realize it at the time, but wasn't that a perfect metaphor for the game we were trying to play? Me: Neuman, don't touch Tripp's word. Neuman: Mine! Me: No, it's not yours, it's Tripp's. Neuman: Want! He was so insistent, it got me thinking–it must be human nature to take what doesn't belong to you. The light bulb went off: what would happen if you could steal someone else's word, at any time? And while I was at it, why not get rid of the board, and the complicated rules? How about a quick, nifty, cutthroat game that rewarded literate larceny, and guts? And so One Up! was born, out of the mouth of babes, as it were. One Up! is a wicked educational gift. One Up! has been a big hit in many middle and high schools across the country since its launch, and over the past two years has became especially popular in higher education since all of the Corona Virus quarantine lockdowns sent so many students home from college. Hungry for real social contact and cutthroat competition so many people have come to love the Darwinian challenge of trying to prove they're the smartest person in the (lunch)room. And One Up! doesn't take any prisoners... ...making it the perfect gift for word lovers and brainiacs of all ages. Birthdays, Thanksgiving, Chris as, and even summer holidays–One Up! is the perfect go-to gift for any occasion. \"We never leave home without it.\" Are you looking for the perfect travel companion – even if it's just down to the local cafe for a quick cup of coffee with friends? One Up! never complains, doesn't eat much... and is always game. Ha!⠀ Throw One Up! in your suitcase or backpack and you'll never be bored again: a million words and worlds of fun in your pocket, so-to-speak, wherever your adventure takes you.⠀ As a party game One Up! packs a wicked punch – birthdays, holidays, Thanksgiving, and Chris as. It's also ous for game nights and family get-togethers. Don't stay home without it! Stealing is the name of the game. 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 until another word of three or more letters can be made. 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! Everyone continues calling out new words as the letters are flipped over. But remember, all words are in play at all time. The player with the most words wins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHE FASTEST AND FUNNEST WORD GAME – One Up! takes quick wits, as you try to be the first person to make a word from the tiles that are turned over in the center.
