Pyramid Crossword Cubes (1969)

""The new word game that makes staying home fun!" Players roll the 15 cubes and set the timer, then try to create as many words as possible on the scoring board (crossword-style) before the timer runs out. Once time is up, words that were created are scored at a rate of 5 points per cube, with cubes that were not used subtracting 5 points per cube from the score. Additionally, each cube is placed on top of a numbered square when creating a word, and as each cube is scored, the number that the cube was placed on top of is also added to the score. So if you have an "R" that is on top of a 7, that cube would score 5+7=12. Player with the highest overall score after 3 turns is the winner. The game appears to share a large number of design elements with Scrabble Crossword Cubes, but with a different scoring mechanism. "
