Make long words from the heap of letter tiles at the bottom of the Plateau. While you are doing this, new tiles are being added at an ever-increasing rate. When the tiles reach the top of the Plateau, the round ends and you lose a life; but you earn a new life for every 2000 points you score. Although the game is against-the-clock, manual dexterity isn't essential: it is primarily a test of vocabulary knowledge and the ability to think fast under pressure. This addictive game should appeal to anyone who enjoys Plateau Jeux like Scrabble and Boggle or the Channel 4 program Countdown.
