1–99 players · 45 min · 8+
A word dice game where players roll the dice and make words to score points. The player with the most points after 10 rounds is the winner.
This 2003 edition by Endless Games includes 22 (14mm, white) letter cubes, rather than the 15 in the original version. The scoring in this edition is also different. Rather than squaring the letter count for each word, a point value is assigned to each letter based upon the length of the word it is part of, with letters used in longer words worth more. Crossed words score the shared letter twice, possibly with two different values.
Scoring:
3 letter words – 1 point per letter
4 letter words – 2 points per letter
5 letter words and up – 3 points per letter
5 point bonus for using all 22 dice
Subtract a point for each unused die
