Descrizione: This game is basically Scrabble. It might even be a precursor to the game or a take off on the original game. I'm not sure because on top of having no Publisher or Designer listed on the box, there is no year of publication listed either.
The object is for each player to play out his letters by forming words to the crossword layout.
Some differences from Scrabble are:
When you place a word on a square with a star you throw a die and then receive a bonus of 5 or 10 times the die roll.
There are no plurals allowed.
There are four blank tiles.
Words are scored at 5 points per letter.
Challenges to words cost 25 points to either player depending on if the challenge was successful or not.
