11/8/99 The Dublex Game
Dublex is a langmaking game -- think of it as Scrabble for people who like to invent words. Rather than the letter tiles of Scrabble, Dublex has 400 word tiles. You combine the word tiles in as many ways as desired to come up with new words. For instance:
vocsist /vohk-SEEST/ [voc+sist, "word system"]
language -- a systematic means of communicating by the use of sounds or conventional symbols
cisdesir /kees-deh-SEER/ [cis+desir, "story desire"]
story hunger -- an emotional need for fulfillment through narrative fiction in any form (book, television sitcom, movies, etc.)
