Paperback Vol. 2 brings an exciting twist to deck-building and word games, merging strategic card play with clever wordsmithing. Join Paige Turner on her journey to bestselling author status in this sequel featuring new cards, fresh game modes, and updated artwork.
Players can challenge advanced AI opponents who excel at word creation or collaborate cooperatively with friends and AI teammates. Unlock massive new card sets and abilities, enjoy quirky mini-expansions like spacebar and dyslexic modes, and complete fun novel-themed challenges in this immersive and strategic experience.
Players generally enjoy Paperback Vol. 2’s word-based deck-building gameplay and consider it a good tabletop adaptation, with appealing solo and multiplayer options. However, recurring bugs—including freezes, crashes, and incorrect scoring or card effects—can disrupt or end games. Online play also has usability and reliability problems. Several players dislike the redesigned visuals and report that card text is harder to read.

This is a bug report for the current version as of March 26 2026. 1. During the buy phase when I select a letter in the market to preview, then go back and try to look at my draw or discard pile it is disabled. Before I preview a market letter I am able to view my piles freely. This is a frustrating bug. 2. As of 2-3 versions ago, there is a gamebreaking bug with the Trash Other cards. Trash other gain +xC/worth more: trashing doesn't actually trash, and you don't get more +xC for it either.

I have encountered several bugs, such as the AI buying out the entire stack of wild (when it only earned +7) or carrying over a draw 5 infinitely. It definitely makes it trickier (or impossible) to win at times. I never had these issues with the first iteration of this app.
