Criss Cross is extremely simple to play and teach. It is a super-accessible roll-and-write game from the prolific Dr. Knizia.

A game lasts 12 rounds. Each round, the two dice are rolled and each player must write the two symbols shown in adjacent squares on their score sheet. Players will score for having groups of symbols in each column and row.

The trick is – all players have the same symbols to use, but finding the best place to put them is not easy ????

The Grail Games edition comes with new, advanced rules, that give players a couple more things to consider. The game is therefore great for families, and “gamers”.
