This is a simple word scoring game. Each letter is scored based on the number of angles within the letter. The longer the word with greater-angled letters will get you to the target score of 100 total quicker.

However, after each turn you have to roll a 20 sided dice equal to or above your score. If you fail you lose a cthulhu idol. You start the game with 5 and when you lose the last one, you’re out. Great for a 2 player game as this aspect really controls how risky you feel you should be as it is easy to lose all your cthulhu idols just before you make 100 points.

The cards are designed nicely and whilst it comes in a large box, by virtue of it being a card game with a dice and 30 idols, it is the perfect travel game.

Fun, simple and educational for all the family. It states age 10 to adult but I believe it is accessible far below this age for great spelling practice!
