Description

A cross between Scrabble and Yahtzee. The game has 7 dice (16 in some other versions) with letters (and blank or square symbol for wild char). Carefully place your lettered dices to make high-scoring words in 1 minute turn. The game includes a dice shaker, a 1 min sand-timer and also a score pad (depending on the game version). 
Each player has 12 turns to score words into either the crossword section or the dice section on their scorepads. The crossword section works similarly to a traditional Scrabble board, so words must interlock and can score double and triple word and letter scores. The dice section features entries for 2 to 7 letter words with fixed scores for each. Bonus points can be achieved by getting a high total in the crossword section.
Some game versions with 16 dices, scorepad is not provided and there is no limits in lenght for word arrangement.

A 1-minute sand-timer is provided to limit each player's turn.
