Great American Puzzle Factory Jot! Game

This game was not as much fun as I envisioned. I enjoy Scrabble, Scrabulous on line, UpWords, BuyWord, and other of this type game, some more than others. I have some trouble finding folks who want to play this type game though. I thought this would be fun and more interesting, but it's been more frustrating. The markers (as mentioned) were not good, I appreciate the suggestion of buying some (why didn't I think of that). I thought the eraser was some errant packing material! It's white foam and not shown on the picture. The timer is a great concept, but also difficult to use. It is supposed to start when you roll, but often needs to be smacked.The concept of the game is good. It does get interesting to try to fit your words as the game progresses. The scoring is reasonable and pretty straightforward. Perhaps with better quality and more enthusiastic opponents this would be more fun!

My wife, sister-in-law and I enjoyed playing this game. We found it uniquely challenging and a refreshing change of pace from Scrabble. At first appearance, it appears that it would be quite simple to play this, given you are allowed to create your own words, however, after a few turns, the board starts filling up and it becomes more and more challenging to accomplish your assigned task. A great learning tool for kids and fun for adults. I'd give it five stars, but the markers and eraser are of extremely poor quality. A trip to Office Max for some quality dry markers is a must, as well as a paper towel for erasing.
