Abstract
A board game wherein the players state in advance of their turn any words they choose to form, then state their choice to roll both dice to maneuver the game board with their game piece or to roll one die to pick the corresponding number of lettered squares. A player must earn twenty points in any form before using the point board. The player earns their choice of point chips for later usage or pegs for the point board for forming words. A player must fill each section on the point board before the player proceeds with the game piece to the corresponding level on the game board. A player must complete all other sections on the point board before completing the final section, where the player must form five words of any length, only one per turn, to complete the final section and win the game.
