Queen Bee
1–4 players · 30 min · 12+
Three custom d6's display consonants, two display vowels, and another displays four colors and two wild colors. Players take turns rolling the six dice and trying to form words of from two to nine letters in the displayed color using only the letters shown on the dice. A scoresheet enables players to remember the lengths and colors of the words that they have formed. Only one word of each length may be constructed for each color.
A word length is "locked" (cannot be used again) for all players if one player has created words of that length in all four colors. A player receives a bee sting if he/she cannot create a word. The game ends when a player has four bee stings or when four word lengths are locked.
Score one point for each letter used in a word. Score bonuses for locking a word length, having the longest word in a color, and for creating more than five words in a color. Most points wins.
