Last Minute Gift Idea! Review and Giveaway

Are you looking for a last minute gift idea?  Crossword Cubes from Marina Games is a fun and inexpensive option.  At $7.99 ARV, it is worth giving it a shot.   Crossword Cubes is a fun choice for men, women or kids!

This is a fun little game.  Instead of drawing tiles, you simply roll the dice when it is your turn (similar to Yahtzee), to create words, crossword style, attempting to make the highest scoring words possible.  When your turn is up your opponent rolls the dice for his or her turn.

This is great for kids who are in school or for adults (like me) who love word games.  This is also one that the entire family can play together.


Crossword Cubes is an exciting word game with three levels of play - easy, hard & Solitaire. Roll all 13 cubes and create words from lettered dice in a crossword fashion to create the highest score possible. This simple yet challenging, educational game is appealing to spelling game fans of all ages. Crossword Cubes is portable, fast and fun. Ages 8+, 1+ players.




My kids were very excited when we received this.  I have not sat down with them to officially play, but they have played on their own.  In fact I went to grab the box for information for this review and it disappeared  as the girls took it upstairs to play.    I like that this is educational  - they like it because it is fun.

Whomever gets to 300 wins the game.  For younger kids however, you may opt to modify the rules somewhat.  You can easily set limits on how long to play.  Instead of waiting for a full board game which can be tedious to younger kids, you can set the game at 5 turns each or the first one to get to 100 points!
