Spill and Spell Game Review

Spill and Spell Game

This is a game I've been playing for over 30 years, but we've only gone through 2 sets in all those years (we used the first set so much that the letters wore off the dice). My mother and I devised our own scoring method, as the one that comes with the game is rather boring (we basically would square the length of the word, i.e., a 7-letter word would be 7x7=49 points). That really upped the ante to make long words, and with the large number of dice that you're working with, any Scrabble fan should be able to come up with some nice long words. Of course you can follow the scoring rules that come with the game, which is much simpler and much lower. But we always liked this game for the very reason that it was versatile if you wanted to be creative. We would choose a particular subject that was worth extra points (for instance, make a word related to the weather, and get double points!).
It's a fun game for anyone who likes word games like Scrabble, Upwords, etc.

Sharpen your pencils and your minds -- the time-honored classic is back!Spill and Spell is the classic cube crossword game that's fun for ages eight and up. It's speed versus smarts as players test their vocabulary versus the clock. Spill the 22 letter-dice onto the playing surface and start the one-minute timer. Put the dice together horizontally, vertically or "intersecting-ly" to spell as many words as you can. Re-spill your leftover letters to keep going! Scoring depends on how many and how long your words are. For 1 or more players.

My grandmother and her friends love to play this game . . . . but couldn't due to vision changes. Now they totally can- she was surprised that the large numbers worked- very effective and fun for everyone.

Colosseum Board Game Review

Colosseum Board Game
Average Reviews:

I'm a board game fanatic, and I love games with strategy and lots and lots of bits. This game delivers.
There are tons of tiles, cards, tokens, and colosseum parts, and a big board, all very sturdy and nice looking. There's a cloth bag to hold the tiles. The box is packaged very well and even includes a sheet to explain where all the parts go (to make sure you can get it all back in the box).
This is just a shade more complicated to learn than games like Ticket to Ride, but it's easy once you get the hang of it. There is some fairly easy strategy and decision making, and there is some auctioning and trading, but again it's very controlled (shouldn't be much bickering). Figure out how to upgrade your colosseum, gather the resources you need, and put on the best show possible to score the most points and win.
My only disappointment is its not a two player game (3 to 5 only)--sometimes I have trouble finding a group to play. Definitely recommended.
