DICEWORDS - the word game in your pocket at Mac App Store analyse

9 alphabetic dice, over 10 million combinations... Often unpredictable and always great fun, this compelling word game can be played by 1 to 8 players at all skill levels. Includes excellent Dicewords-based puzzle too. Graham Lipscomb’s fabulous DICEWORDS offers a fascinating blend of luck and strategy, and can also be used very effectively as an educational tool. This nifty adaptation of the popular dice game takes care of the scoring and automatically prompts the next player to roll. And you won’t lose any of these dice under the sofa. Each turn you have up to three rolls in which to build the highest-scoring word you can, so typically you keep some dice and re-roll the others, aiming to get the letters you need. It’s best to have several word ideas in mind because you never know which letters will come your way. Longer words will usually score you more - and if you can use the rarer letters too (Q, X, Z ...etc), you can get huge scores! But there’s much more to this game than lucky dice rolls. The on-screen ‘Dice Table’ shows you which dice contain which letters, so you can weigh up the odds of rolling particular combinations - and therefore use strategy to improve your chances. • Supports from 1 to 8 active players • Any number of player names can be stored/shuffled for future use • Suitable for age 8+ • Typical game time: 10 minutes per player • Optional game clock • Optional word checker (uses the iOS dictionary) • Includes Dicewords-based puzzle • Saves current game & puzzle, so you can continue later • VoiceOver compatibility • Runs in 64-bit on supported devices What people wrote to the game inventor about the original Dicewords: “I cannot begin to tell you the hours and hours of fun that your Dicewords game has afforded our family - a fantastic product.” ~ A.
