Game Components
32 letter dice (8 dice in each of the 4 colors), 1 trophy tile, 1 dice bowl inside the box.
The Goal of the Game
All players try to create one or more linked words from seven of their eight dice at the same time. As soon as you manage it, toss your remaining die into the dice bowl quickly!
Setting Up the Game
Each player picks a color and takes all dice of that color. Put the box with the dice bowl in the center of the table. The trophy tile goes next to it for now.
Playing the Game
Rolling Dice and Creating Words
There are no turns!
All players roll their dice at the same time. Immediately after rolling, all players try to create a word or several linked words using seven of their eight dice. Each die has to touch another die with at least one of its faces.
Examples shown on the rulebook page (as pictured): the word HAMSTER, with its dice touching in a row, is marked with a check mark (correct). A second arrangement, GLAS (with the smiley-face die used as a wild) with the letters P, A, S, T running vertically through the A of GLAS, is marked with a check mark (correct). A third arrangement, TOE and WHEN joined by the letter N, is marked with a cross (incorrect).
Wilds
The side of the dice with the smiley face is a wild. You can use it to replace any one letter.
Winning a Round
As soon as you have connected seven of your eight dice, quickly toss your last die into the dice bowl. The first player to do so ends the round. If two or more players toss their dice in the bowl at the same time, the player whose die is at the bottom of the bowl ends the round.
Illustration caption: "The blue player ends the round."
Now, all players check the dice of the player who ended the round. If those dice are correct, he or she takes the trophy tile and puts it in front of them, silver side up. After the first round, take the tile from the center of the table; in the following rounds, take it from the player who has it.
If you already have the trophy tile in front of you with the silver side up, turn it over from the silver side to the gold side.
If you already have the trophy tile in front of yourself showing the gold side when you end another round, you win the game!
If you end a round, but made a mistake creating your word(s), you have to return the trophy tile to the center of the table if you have it in front of you.
Now the next round can begin.
The Next Round
Play rounds until you have found a winner. Simply pick up all eight dice and roll them again!
The End of the Game
The game ends immediately when a player who already has the trophy tile in front of them with the gold side showing correctly ends a round.
Which Words Can You Use?
You can use any word that's in a dictionary, as well as names and commonly used abbreviations.
Rule of thumb: If all players agree that a word is okay, you can use it!
