Candygrams is a fast, fun crossword game with a color-coded twist that takes only a minute or two to learn and plays remarkably well across a broad range of ages. Kids love that there is no turn-taking - no waiting, no sitting idly by - everyone is in on the action from start to finish! The game kicks off with each player randomly selecting 25 colored letter tiles and using some of them to form a base word. Play then proceeds in rounds in which all players attempt to add one word per round to their existing crosswords. A pair of dice rolled at the beginning of each round intensifies the challenge by restricting which colors of letter tiles can be used. Each word added in a given round must not only be spelled correctly, it must also contain both colors rolled on the dice and ONLY those colors. The first player to use all their tiles wins the game! The instructions for Candygrams offer 2 ways to play, Standard (relaxed pace - 15 minutes per game) or Express (fast and frenzied - 5 minutes per game). For 2 - 4 players.
