Anabid!: Bid, Spell, and Steal (0)

In Anabid!, players compete to outspell, outbid and outwit their opponents to achieve the highest score. After the custom 6- and 8-sided lettered dice are rolled, the first player states a word length and bids how many words that long they think they can spell. Each subsequent bid must increase the number of words or the word length. Each player has a scant few seconds to make a bid and each bid is an opportunity to drive the next player to unwisely overbid -- a core strategy. The top bidder has a minute to fulfil his bid. Words with greater lengths garner higher scores. To counter Aunt Edna's dictionary memorization, however, the game includes a clever mechanism that enables a would-be thief to steal the bid score! After each player has rolled three times (with the middle round in reverse order), the player with the highest score wins! —description from the publisher
