Abstract: A word formation game using a grid pattern to define a plurality of grid space, a plurality of tiles having various letters and associated numerical point values imprinted thereon, and having a root word, preferably the word “EXTRACTOR,” disposed on grid spaces, with the goal of such word game being to earn and accumulate more points than the other players by the game's end. The game provides for removing letters of words already formed in the grid spaces to form new words via simple extraction or by extracting and adding a new letter in place of the extracted letter.

Abstract: A kit and method for playing a dice game including a bag resembling a soft-shelled beverage cooler; rolling bins each configured to resemble a beverage can; and a set of dice in each bin, the dice including six groups of six dice, where each group is of a different color. The game includes arranging players about a playing surface; providing a bin and set of dice for each player; and each player: shakes their bin to mix the dice; takes a first throw of their dice onto the playing surface; sorts their set of dice into subsets based on color to form color subsets; sorts each of the color subsets into number groupings based on a number marking provided on an upwardly facing face of each die in the subsets; selects one or more of the number groupings to play; and arranges the selected number groupings into a predetermined pattern.
