Looks similar to Palabra, http://www.palabragame.com


Parlay is more of a poker word game. Palabra is a traditional word rummy game, where you try to play rummy-type sets of cards (usually forming words). They have very different feels.

Nonetheless, that's a funny tagline, "All the fun of Poker and word games rolled into one." Uh-huh, I see. Sort of like, "All the fun of cleaning the toilet and taking out the trash rolled into one?" (Just kidding, don't flame me if you like Poker or word games.)
