	Description Edit \| History

Montage is a partnership word game in which each player, in turn, thinks of a word, "spells" it on the crossword-like grid using color-coded tiles – each color corresponding to one vowel and five or six consonants, e.g. yellow is A/B/C/D/Z and green is U/T/V/W/Y/X – then gives a clue, in the hopes that his partner can guess the word before either of the opponents do.

In 1992, Joli Quentin Kansil revived the idea behind Montage in ¡Knock-on-Word!, a similar partnership word-guessing game.

Montage quik reference (MS Word 2003 format)

NOTE! This reference refers extensively to my own homemade board and our own variant play style (for example, we use the easy-going timer, as opposed to the "Iron Man Timer" rules of the original game). If you download this, you may/will want to tweak it to fit your own homemade board (really, you have an original copy?!), and to fit any rules variations by which you play.

Montage Tiles

Each page has enough to make 12 of each color tile. I estimate you need appx. 40 of each tile for a game. Cut these out and apply them to standard Scrabble tiles - black on one side and white on the other. For example, you'd have a blue tile with a white dot in the center. On the reverse side of that tile would be blue with a black dot in the center.
