Dutch common verbs game
Nineteen verbs in the infinitive, including four modals: kunnen, willen, moeten and mogen. Mogen is the one English has no clean equivalent for, since to be allowed to is three words for what Dutch does in one.

All seven games run on this set. Grid Hack fits it, because Dutch infinitives nearly all end in -en and the shared ending makes the stems stand out on a board.

Questions
What does mogen mean exactly?
To be allowed to. Mag ik? is may I, and it is the polite way into almost any request. It sits alongside kunnen, which is being able to, and moeten, which is having to.
Heten or noemen?
Heten is what you are called: ik heet Anna. Noemen, not in this set, is what you call someone else. English uses to be called for both, which is why the two get mixed up.
Are these conjugated?
No. The games use the infinitive, the form you would find in a dictionary. Conjugation is a lesson topic; this is a vocabulary drill.
