Product Description

Editorial Review
In this letter game, the object is to be the first to construct eight words from distinctive, lettered playing tiles. Each player picks a tile in turn, and those tiles go into a common "face-up" pool until a player can construct a word from them. Subsequently, players can try to construct a word from the pool or can also use opponents' words as material. There's a catch: you must use all the letters from an opponent's word and in a different order. As you gain skill, you can make the game more difficult by determining a minimum acceptable word length. The wooden letter tiles are large--a full inch square--and are easy to read. --Richard Farr

Product Description
Sharpen your pencils and your minds -- the time-honored classic is back!Spill and Spell is the classic cube crossword game that's fun for ages eight and up. It's speed versus smarts as players test their vocabulary versus the clock. Spill the 22 letter-dice onto the playing surface and start the one-minute timer. Put the dice together horizontally, vertically or "intersecting-ly" to spell as many words as you can. Re-spill your leftover letters to keep going! Scoring depends on how many and how long your words are. For 1 or more players.

This is a game I've been playing for over 30 years, but we've only gone through 2 sets in all those years (we used the first set so much that the letters wore off the dice). My mother and I devised our own scoring method, as the one that comes with the game is rather boring (we basically would square the length of the word, i.e., a 7-letter word would be 7x7=49 points). That really upped the ante to make long words, and with the large number of dice that you're working with, any Scrabble fan should be able to come up with some nice long words. Of course you can follow the scoring rules that come with the game, which is much simpler and much lower. But we always liked this game for the very reason that it was versatile if you wanted to be creative. We would choose a particular subject that was worth extra points (for instance, make a word related to the weather, and get double points!).

It's a fun game for anyone who likes word games like Scrabble, Upwords, etc.

It's a really fun game. The only problem I can see is that the timer should measure off a bit more time. The timer that came with the game is really of much too short a duration. Thank you!
