Notes from the organizer: Come wordsmiths, come pastafarians, come one, come all! It is time to put on your bibs as Alphabetti Spaghetti returns this November for a 4th annual bowlful of fun.

For anyone new, everyone competes across several rounds throughout the month, each comprising a one-off match versus Prune.

We use a variety of formats and each round uses an alternative gameplay / scoring mechanic devised to make you think (and play) outside the box. Rules per round will be explained fully on each round page, so reading the rules each round is essential.

For the experienced spaghetti lovers - I’ve listened to feedback, and the element of “bombing out” early will be adjusted this year to lessen the penalty for making mistakes. * Second reminder, you really need to read each rounds rules before playing. Don’t say you haven’t been warned.

Past winners are Matthew Tassier (2023), Florence C-L (2024) and Tom Cappleman (2025) and this year you’ll be tackling 12 rounds - the same 10 round from 2025 (with a few tweaks here and there), plus 2 brand new rounds.

Here's a link to 2025 page for anyone wanting to research - https://www.apterous.org/to_meta.php?meta=5505

Scheduled to run from November 1st - 30th, I’ll put one round live every two / three days, but you’ll get until the 30th to play all rounds (I reserve the right to extend / move this if work is busy)
