Abstract
A game played with dice. The dice includes a first set having letters and may include a second set. The dice are rolled twice to create a list of two-letter pairs. Players record famous people having initials that correspond to the two letters of each pair. The entries of the players are compared, and points are awarded. A wild may be used which allows one of the letters of a pair to be selected or to be unassigned.
