How to Play
On each round, one player rolls the dice and all players immediately race to find words. A player who finds a word calls it out and takes the dice that formed the word. Players keep searching for words until all of the dice have been taken or no more words can be formed. Words must consists of three or more letters. At the end of each round, players count their dice and score one point for each die. Rounds continue until a player reaches 50 points.
