“Coolson’s Pocket Pack”, the tasty word game that fits in your pocket, is back - old and unimproved - for its 10th anniversary! It’s free! From the penguin who brought you the award-winning “Coolson’s Artisanal Chocolate Alphabet”, “Coolson’s Pocket Pack” is a fast-paced, whimsical word game. Coolson’s signature chocolate letters are dropped into the top of the packing stage one by one. Your job is to take them out of the bottom and pack them into words.
