Description

Each card has both a letter and one face of a standard die. Before each turn, 5 dice are rolled and placed on the dice board in order of their colors. Then the player tries to play a word of 3-5 letters, whose die faces match a contiguous subset of the dice on the board. If they do, they score the sum of the cards' pips, doubled for 4-letter words and tripled for 5-letter words. There are also wild cards, and slug cards that can be added at either end. The winner is the first person to reach the specified total score, e.g. 100 for 4-5 players.
