The Scruble Cube game comes with the cube, a sand timer, a score sheet pad, and instructions. The cube is reminiscent of a famous cube game we all enjoyed years ago as well as a very popular word game. Each segment of the cube has a letter and a scoring number on it or a notation such as "2X word score." By turning the cube you can make a caboodle of different words. The website expresses it thus: " 7.4 x 10 45 (that's 7,401 septillion) possible configurations."

This is a really fun game for 1-4 players. It is just as amusing to play it by yourself as with others, except for the challenge of outdoing your opponent(s). This game lends itself to car travel and waiting in restaurants, as well as schoolroom applications. Our family always enjoys games that enhance the kids' skills. We like learning to be fun. This game will find a lot of use in our schoolroom and in our home in general. It sells for $24.99, which is a great price for a game that will be part of a permanent collection.

The packaging is not conducive to storing the game, and that is the only downside. I will put all the pieces in a Ziploc bag for storage rather than trying to maintain the flimsy box, which is about half cellophane.

This is one of the most entertaining new word games I have seen in a while. If you like word games, you will want one of these.
