Jabuka: The Buzz for the Year’s Biggest Game Night

This year’s New Year’s Eve may be one of the biggest family game nights ever. While pandemic cautions continue, families and small dinner parties will be looking for some at-home fun for the evening. One way to get a jolt of excitement for the late night is with the new caffeine-inspired party game, Jabuka, from Jabuka Games, Inc.

Jabuka (MSRP $19.95 for 2-4 players ages 8+) is the multi award-winning rotating letter word game that’s been brewing up a lot of fun this holiday season. Its small, portable, quick and easy game play offers affordable, multi-age entertainment through a cool, coffee theme that you can play just about anywhere.

Martin Russocki, inventor of JABUKA, said, “Jabuka is a great family game and a party game for small groups. You can even play in teams if you want. It’s quick and easy so you can play in multiple rounds and players can get as creative or strategic in learning to speak Jabuka as they form words or steal words from opponents.”

To play Jabuka, players spill the coffee bean-shaped tiles and start a battle of words (official rules at www.jabukagames.com). No turn taking. Just grab the letters and make words. Then, maybe you can steal words from other players with clever word scrambles, adding and twisting letters. Notice the yellow letters that can be twisted, such as:

• “E” is “m” or “w”
• “c” is “u” or “n”
• “r” can be “j”;
• “t” is also “x”;
• and more

When you first spill the beans, some land face down, leave those face down until everyone agrees to flip and turn over 2 beans at a time to reveal new letters. Play. Repeat. Count beans when the last 2 are filled. The player with the most beans that make words wins! Game on.
