Bali (1978) – A Classic Word-Building Card Game

Bali (1978) – A Classic Word-Building Card Game

Bali is a clever word-building card game that brings out your inner wordsmith. Whether you're playing solo or with friends, the challenge stays the same – build as many words as you can from a shifting panel of cards. It’s all about creating three-letter words (or longer), planning ahead, and using every card if you want that bonus score. With a built-in scoring system and strategic layers that grow with each round, Bali is a surprisingly deep and satisfying game that never plays out the same way twice.

How to Play
Each player is given a panel of cards, placed face up in a row. You build words using letters from your own panel, combining them to make partial or complete words. Once a word is built, you can remove it and score points based on letter values and word length. As cards are used, new ones are drawn to keep the game moving. You’ll be juggling panels, aiming for long words, and deciding when to go for the win by ‘Bali-ing’ – using every last card. There’s a solo version and multiplayer rules, both equally addictive once you get going.

Why Rent This Game
Bali is a brilliant choice for fans of word games and classic card-based play. It’s easy to learn but tough to master, and every game feels like a new challenge. If you love Scrabble, Boggle or anything that flexes your brain, this one will hit the spot. It’s great for solo players wanting to beat their own score or for families and friends who enjoy light competition with a side of clever strategy. Renting Bali is a perfect way to bring a vintage twist to your next games night.
