The Game of Define and Conquer

Needing just one more ring to win, you are contemplating the best tactic to invade that last territory. Just then a juicy prize happens by — an opponent's pawn carrying the ring you need. It's a complex and delicate choice. At times this rival has seemed capable of besting Webster in a war of words, and an ambush would surely bring retaliation. On the other hand, your strategically saved Move Card just might help...

Staged on a battlefield of colorful, intertwining paths, Captivation is an engaging contest of word power and shrewd strategies. Players invade neighboring territories seeking to capture prized rings through a display of vocabulary finesse. The words will fly and the best laid plans fail on the precarious, fun-filled journey home.

The Game of Define
With an emphasis on practical but challenging words, the Captivation questions allow players to test, show off, and maybe even improve their vocabularies.
The questions are carefully crafted to be deceptive, thought-provoking, subtly amusing, and, on occasion, outrageously funny.

...and The Game of Conquer
But this is not strictly a word game. Even the finest definer must constantly re-evaluate the ever-changing strategic situation. Plotting the best course, out-maneuvering opponents, deftly utilizing Move Cards, and a little luck are equally important. The mission is simple, but the path to victory spans a perilous field of shifting fortunes, startling surprises, and captivating fun.
