Octobabble-Greek (Οκτώβαβούρα)

thingiverse

This is a Greek word-game with ten 8-sided dice with concept not unlike Scrabble but completely independent of it. Each numbered die has 8 random letters on it so that when the dice are thrown down, they give ten random letters. The rules are flexible and can be age related. Use an egg-timer or toothbush-timer to give each player say 2 minutes for a turn. For younger players, give a point for each word of two or more letters, a point for letters in a long word with a bonus for more than 5 letters, points for longest word in a round and so on. The design has specified that the letters of the alphabet are assigned to the dice at random. However the total count of each letter in the ten dice is calculated according to the published frequency of letters (unaccented) in the Greek language. There are a few blanks thrown in to give 80 for the ten dice. The dice are numbered so it is easy to notice a missing one and reprint it.
