Wordle’s official board game gives me the fearThe best Christmas present to ruin all future Christmases

The best Christmas present to ruin all future Christmases

The official Wordle board game from Hasbro

My family is obsessed withWordle. Their love for the five-letter-word guessing game has become so strong that we’ve had to create a separate family Whatsapp group for it. Now, Wordle owner The New York Times has partnered with Hasbro to make it into areal-world tabletop game- and I think I might have excuse myself from every family gathering going forward, because I know that someone’s inevitably going to buy this for someone’s Christmas or birthday present in the future, and it’s going to be all they ever want to do and talk about. Help.

At the moment, I think I’m safe. “Wordle: The Party Game”, as it’s going to be called, is currently only scheduled to launch in North America so far, with a release date of October 1st. Priced at $20, pre-orders areopen nowif you feel so inclined. Here’s hoping the extra $10 shipping fee to get it to the UK is enough to dissuade my siblings from importing it.

“We know people love to have game night and have their friends over to play games. They’re social experiences, so it’s a way to share, connect and create memories,” Hasbro’s general manager Adam Biehl toldCNN.

Should Wordle: The Party Game ever come to the UK, this is definitely going to fall in to the same category as our Star Wars Monopoly set. Every Christmas one of my brothers insists we get it out, and every Christmas someone (usually me, truth be told) gets stressed out because they inevitably fall into a massive debt spiral about 30 minutes in. At least our guides crew have some greatWordle starting wordsto help me out in this case, but please, Hasbro. Keep this thing State-side. For all our sakes.
