Campbell's Alphabet Dice Game

This is a great crossword anagram game, played with dice and cleverly packaged in a design perfectly suited for families hungry for fun - a Campbell's Soup can! The 36 dice, each with letters on all 6 sides, are divided among players. The game is then played in 4 rounds, called Servings. In each round, players take turns forming words by adding letters to a communal crossword layout until someone runs out of letters. Letters in your possession at the end of a round count against you, 1 point for black letters, 2 points for red. The player with the lowest cumulative total at the end of 4 rounds wins the game. Twists include your ability to insert letters into the middle of words, and our favorite - called 'Slurping,' - lets you pull a letter out of the crossword, replace it with one of your own, then dump the removed letter into another player's hand, a perfect tactic for keeping that player from ending the round. What else can we say but Mmmm, good! For 2 to 6 players.
