Overview

Syzygy is a real-time crossword-puzzle building game. Each player starts with a number of tiles, and attempts to build them into a network of words. The first player to use all his/her tiles calls 'Draw' and everyone must draw an additional tile. Repeat until all tiles (> 300) are used. Crosswords can be rearranged as needed until the game ends. Winner is person with fewest unused tiles.
