Iago (1984) Classic Double-Crossword Word Game

Iago (1984) Classic Double-Crossword Word Game

Iago is a clever and challenging double-crossword word game for two players. Each player uses letter tiles to form words on the board while trying to take the lead and keep it. But in Iago, words can be stolen, changed, and twisted as the game develops — making it a fast-moving battle of wit and vocabulary.

How to Play

Players take turns drawing tiles and placing them on the board to form valid words. Each new word must connect with existing words, much like a crossword puzzle. The twist comes with the stealing mechanic: by adding or changing letters, you can steal your opponent’s word and make it your own. The game also features a unique differential timer that keeps both players under pressure, as time moves back and forth depending on whose turn it is. The winner is the player who holds the lead when no further moves can be made.

Why Rent

Iago is perfect for word lovers who enjoy a challenge with a twist. Unlike traditional crossword-style games, the stealing element makes every move tense and tactical, giving players the chance to turn the tables in an instant. Whether you’re a fan of word puzzles, strategy games, or simply enjoy head-to-head competition, Iago offers a fresh and exciting experience you won’t forget.
