Frequently Asked Questions

  • Question : For "take a card from opponent" can I take a joker?
    Answer : No. You can only take a consonant, vowel or special.

  • Question : To win, do I need to get the exact number of points / stars to land on the Earth?
    Answer : No. You need to get to, or pass the Earth to win.

  • Question : If I land on a Blackhole by rolling three consecutive sixes and survive, can I have another roll of the dice?
    Answer : Normally, a player rolling a 6 gets another go. However, entering a Blackhole always signifies the end of your turn whether you escape or not.

  • Question : Can I declare a word(s) after throwing a 6 and before my next roll?
    Answer : No. You can only declare a word(s) before rolling the dice for the first time on your go.

  • Question : What happens if I land on an opponent on the Inner or Outer Play Board?
    Answer : You follow the instructions on the square. There is no penalty for the other player(s)

  • Question : How do I play Play All?                                                                                                                                                                                                          Answer: The player landing on Play All has one minute to make as many words as possible using his own cards [each card is used only once]. The letter cards that are not used to make words are returned to stock. Note: some people have reported that they make words out of all the letter cards on the table, including their opponents. This is incorrect.
  • Question: Do you collect a vowel, a consonant and a special if you pass go as a result of CATCH-UP?
  • Answer: Yes. As usual there are rewards for passing START. In addition the player follows the instructions on the square that the player lands on following Catch-up. [Thank you Jane of Guildford for suggestions]
  • Question: What do you do with the cards returned to the bank?
  • Answer: To keep all the cards tidy it is suggested that the cards returned to the bank are placed face-up in front of the stock of vowels, consonants and specials. When all the vowels, consonants or specials have been taken, then the face-up cards of that set of cards is turned face-down and these cards represent the new stock of vowels, consonants or specials [thank you Sallie of Holywell].
