Scribbage (also marketed as Ad-Lib Crossword Clues) is a classic dice word game published in 1959 by the E.S. Lowe Company. 13 dice are rolled which have various letters on each side. Each letter is given a point value depending on its frequency in the English language. A timer is flipped and the player has to put the dice into words either left-to-right or up-and-down. The words must connect with each other as in crossword puzzles or Scrabble. The player must stop at the end of the time and points are counted. The player adds up the points of the letters used and subtracts the amount from the unused letters. Scribbage can be played with two or more players.
A nearly identical game called Crossword Cubes from game maker Selchow and Righter (makers of Scrabble) uses 14 cubes instead of 13. Despite its name, Scribbage has nothing in common with the card game cribbage.
