< The consonant cards are what you would expect in a game system that uses letters. There is only one consonant per card. The point value of each consonant is based on frequency of use of that consonant in the English language, more frequently used letters like T are score less points then less frequently used letters like Q which score more. The points range from one point up to ten points.

This page explains how the consonants, vowels and wilds are used in the Alpha Word Game System. To make things a little easier to write I will explain how the consonants, vowels and wilds work with AlphaPlayingCards since they work the same for AlphaTiles and AlphaDice.
How are the vowel cards used?
How the vowel cards are used in a game should be explained in the rules of that game.
If you look at the backs of the Alpha Playing Cards you will notice that there is a 3x3 grid of spaces that the Alpha Tiles and the Alpha Dice can fit onto quite nicely. This is so you can use Alpha Playing Cards to create boards for the Alpha Tiles and/or the Alpha Dice. In the graphic below I used 6 cards to create a simple 9x6 board. With a little imagination you can create many different boards.
