About the game

Dice Words is a board game from Thames & Kosmos, designed by Tim Phillips (2025). It plays 2–4 players in 30 minutes, for ages 8+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.2 out of 10 and call it light (1.0 / 5 weight).

The coolest new word game on the block masterfully combines skill, luck, and speed into a clever, family-friendly game that’s sure to be an instant classic!

Each player begins by choosing a set of seven letter dice that each represent a different iced beverage. When the timer starts counting down, players attempt to form the longest and most valuable word possible. Don’t have the letters you need? Don’t worry! You can re-roll any of your dice up to two times before the round ends. But, things are not as simple as they seem: in addition to your individual letter dice, you must also try to incorporate the most “target letters” — four ice cube-shaped letter dice that are revealed at the beginning of each round. The colder your drink, the higher your score!

The simple rules are easy to learn and teach, but the unpredictability of each dice roll helps keep the game balanced for gamers of all skill levels. There are no guaranteed wins — quick-thinking and a dash of good fortune is the only path to victory! The fast-paced rounds and simultaneous game play minimizes downtime and keeps everyone on the edge of their seats.
