Well, Roll Through The Ages was a good idea, lots of good wood in this one ! But still off target.

Congratulations to Strickhouser, the new game is Jenga from Parker Editions !

... of course I'm kidding ! :D

so, that covers the picture and the roll, how does it cover the wood and the words with friends?

Lots of good ideas, but the game name has not been found yet !

Time to conclude, here is the final clue. With this one, it should now be just a game of speed !
5) It is an American Mensa Select game

Yes ! Congratulations RaID3r !

The new game is indeed Uncle Chestnut's Table Gype from Paul E. Nowak & Christopher Nowak !

Here is the explanation for the riddle :

1) Wood is Good -> Uncle Chestnut Table Gype has wood pieces
2) Friends with Words -> G.K. Chesterton and H.G. Wells, who created the concept for the game, are authors and were friends - it's also a play on the online version of scrabble, called words with friends.
3) If your Plans are Spoiled, Roll with the Punches -> this clue is more obvious, rolling and spoiled plans...
4) Picture of G.K. Chesterton at his best ! ;)
5) Award received by the game.

I hope you enjoyed this difficult riddle from author Paul. E Nowak !
