![]() I am not as big of a fan of games that rely on spelling. Generally I prefer games from the genre that have players coming up with clues for certain words or games that utilize other types of wordplay. I personally don’t have strong feelings either way about the word game genre. Unless they are horrible at speed games, players that are generally good at games like Scrabble will likely be pretty good at Spill and Spell as well. The players that know the most words have a larger pool to draw from when trying to form words. A strong vocabulary is important as well though. You can’t sit there trying to find the best words as you will run out of time. You need to think quickly if you want to maximize your score. Most of the skill in the game comes from two areas. ![]() The game doesn’t really have any strategy outside of trying to create long words whenever possible. This works in reverse as well though as you don’t want to leave too many dice unused as the points you lose will grow exponentially as well.īecause of how scoring is conducted in the game, Spill and Spell does rely on a decent amount of skill. If you are able to create really long words you can score 100 points or more from just one word. For a quick example a three letter word is worth nine points, while a four letter word is worth sixteen points. This is because each letter you add to a word increases the value of that word exponentially since the points are equal to the number of letters in it squared. ![]() Creating a short word is better than not using the letters at all, but whenever possible you want to try to create as long of words as possible. This is because scoring in the game is based on the length of words. While the ultimate goal of Spill and Spell is to use most if not all of the dice, an emphasis in the game is trying to form longer words. When time runs out you score points based on the words you created as well as the dice that you weren’t able to use. Like Scrabble though you only score points if the words are arranged into a crossword. Instead of playing tiles to a board, you are rolling dice and trying to form words with the letters you rolled. If I were to describe Spill and Spell in just a couple of words I would say that it is basically what you would get if you took Scrabble and turned it into a speed based dice game. The player that scores the most points wins the game. All of the players will get the same number of turns. The game ends when one or more players have scored 300 points. The player will score a total of 65 points. The player wasn’t able to use one of the letters so they will lose one point for it. Finally dog is three letters so it will score nine points. Load is four letters so it will score 16 points. Card is four letters so it will score 16 points. Board consists of five letters so it will score 25 points. During their turn a player formed this crossword consisting of four words.
