In 2026, Russian-speaking gamers will be able to stop the villainous Order of Illiterates, save books from destruction, and preserve knowledge in a world mired in the chaos of ignorance, as the board game "Word Keepers" will be released.
Choo Choo Games Publishing announced that pre-orders are open for the board game "Word Keepers" (Illiterati), designed for 1-5 players and fans of projects in the spirit of "Scrabble". People who want to buy it will have to pay 2990 rubles.
This board game turns participants into librarians from the "League of Word Keepers", trying to stop the Order of Illiterates, who want to destroy all books and take over the world.
Participants will have to make words from letter tokens, bind books, and face villains. This game has several modes: cooperative, competitive, single-player, and "for playing with children."
The "Word Keepers" box contains 144 cardboard letter tokens, two pouches, a burning scale, 20 red and 20 blue books, five library cards, a three-minute hourglass, and 25 villain cards.
The above-mentioned board game, which earned 7.1 points out of 10 on BGG, will appear in the warehouse only in March-April 2026.
