**---Ask The Bellhop---00:15:32**
Today’s question comes from founding patron of the show Brian Kurtz,

Are there any good word-based games out there besides Scrabble? In your opinion, is this even a category? Does it include word-guessing games like Taboo or Charades, or word-defining games like Balderdash?
