Member Nic… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Does the mix of fonts help or hinder one’s ability to play, or have no effect? Link to comment
Member Kar… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Does the mix of fonts help or hinder one’s ability to play, or have no effect? I suppose that depends on whether you want to use it as an excuse for losing... Link to comment
Member hra… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Nick, I suspect the negative effect would be proportional to one's typophilia. hhp Link to comment
Member Nic… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 The latest theory is “hard to read makes you think more”. I wonder if that applies here. This would lend itself to statistical testing—evaluating a player’s scores with a normal board vs this. I found it annoying to play with the P22 pack, but this is a different kettle of fish.

Member Chr… Posted October 14, 2012 Author Share Posted October 14, 2012 I’m pretty sure I can say it makes no difference as I wrote a paper on a similar effect. I replicated Stroop’s 1935 study, only I used fonts and font names instead of colours and colour names. Even to typographers, there was no effect of interference. http://readthetype.com/fonteffect/ Link to comment
Member Rya… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 That deck looks distracting as hell. What do you play, Nick? Link to comment
Member Jam… Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 There's also a typographic chess set.http://gizmodo.com/5949215/this-typographic-chess-set-is-too-pretty-to-play Link to comment
Member cer… Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 It looks like it would lend itself nicely to a house rule giving a bonus for playing a word all in one face. Link to comment
Member Chr… Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 Not sure I understand the rules, but it looks pretty — http://tatianalara.prosite.com/30155/314442/gallery/grid-board-game Link to comment

Member old… Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 The counterless O might be mistaken for a fine, fat rounded I but, otherwise, I see no problem with Scrabbling effectively. Nick, the P22 deck is annoying because, frankly, it wasn't designed very well. Sometimes, you need a little more than mere novelty… Link to comment
