Jargon

Jargon, is like Scrabble. The board features a familiar if slightly skewed grid for placing letter tiles. Every round, every turn of Jargon features a particular lingo or category: could be "Military" or "Travel" -- there's 40 in all. The twist is that you get points by making longer words, no matter what the letters AND you can use slang, abbreviations, names, whatever. Game play is also much faster.
