There's a plastic soup dish in which there are a lot of plastic pearls. There are letters and jokers printed on the pearls.The aim of the game is to create as many words as possible with 2 spoons of letters, within a fixed amount of time. Players use a plastic spoon to fetch letter-pearls from the soup dish. An hour-glass times your efforts to construct words, using the letter-pearls (you can stick the letter-pearls together to form a pearl-chain). The game is played over 5 rounds and the winner is the player with the most points. Points are gained for each used letter, for each syllable and a bonus for players who have used all their letters. Points are lost for unused letters. The box contains 144 letters, 1 spoon, 1 soup bowl and scoring sheets.
