Illiterati

Players are members of a librarian league racing to save books from a sinister organization by forming words in real time. Each round lasts three minutes; players draw tiles, then talk, trade letters with each other and a central pool, and build words to meet individual book conditions (for example use a minimum number of tiles, include certain symbols, or make words in a given category). At the end of each round resolve library overloads and villain effects that remove or flip letters; completed books grant new objectives and, after several completed books, the group must all complete a final shared challenge to win.
