Advantages: entertaining, quite cheap, no time limit

Disadvantages: none

This is quite a good family game for those that have quite a wide vocabulary and that have a quick gaze to be able to search for words.

I would say the best ages to start playing this game are about 12 and up because at least then the twelve year olds know a lot of words and they are not as young as five when it would be to easy to win and therefore it would get a bit tedious.

There is a square with many cubes with different letters on them and what you do is you shake the container with the cubes in it and then stop shaking and the main priority of the game is to make 3 or more letter words out of letters that are in chains in the square. For example if the square came out with Z,Y,A,S,T on one row, L,M,N,I,A and on the row below this F,N,Q,T,D then you could make the word sit because they are in a vertical line on the second last line from the right.

There is a certain time given to look for words and you have to write them all down as quick as you can.

You only get points for original words that you have only seen. If you had sit and someone else did then you wouldn't get any points that is why it is best to use your time looking for words that are not common and easy to find because you will get more points.

The good thing with this game is there is no time limit on it so you can play for hours which means when you have had enough you can put it away unlike games such as Monopoly which take ages to set up and play.

This is not an expensive game and very entertaining.
