DICEWORDS is probably the most compact word game ever. It comes in a smart tube, small enough to fit in your pocket. But despite its size this game is certainly substantial! There are nine special alphabet dice, featuring letters on their faces, and score values depending on how usable they are in the English language (Q is worth 9, E only 1...etc). And, of course, the players roll the dice to build words. So far this is maybe not such a new concept, but where DICEWORDS strikes out on its own is that each of the dice is identifiable by a colour (and a symbol for colourblind players). The contents of the full set are listed on what is called The Dice Table. This enables players to see at a glance what is available on each of the dice, so they can make informed choices when rerolling, instead of blindly hoping for letters they would maybe never be able to get.
