Review

Our testers enjoyed playing this game, but found it a litle too challenging for younger players who had dificulty coming up with the 5+ letter words required in this game. It's also enjoyed better with players of equal skill, which made it difficult to play as a family game. But everyone loved the tin storage box with compartments to store everything neatly between games. 

In terms of the game itself, we like that players are not limited to making a word using only the letters showing. In this game, you need only use 3 of the 5 letters on the dice faces. No vowels? No problem, because you can add any, and as many letters as you want. In fact, the longer the word, the bigger the point chip you earn. The twist in this game, is that the chip you earn, also gives you the theme to which you need match your next word - themes like: Sports, Games & Hobbies; No Nouns Around; Famous People, etc.  ...

Tester Feedback

One time when I was at school, I had to spell a word I used in the game and I spelt it correctly cause my mom taught me when we were playing the 'Spell It' game. Allison (F8)

Good for kids who are 10 and older and have an equal vocabulary.  My 11 yr old had way too much of an advantage over the others (m7, f8, m9). Marie-Lise Hache, Parent
