About the Game

Jitters is a timed word game where players draw cards with prearranged crossword puzzles on them. A player starts the 90-second timer, and then rolls 'lettered' dice, and must use the face-up letters to fill in the crossword with qualifying words before time runs out. Each crossword puzzle card has a point value, which increases with the card's difficulty. This game is somewhat stressful as you must think quickly, making words to fit the blanks on the card, while the timer ticks. When the timer runs out, making a loud smacking noise as you were about to finish your last word, you jump every time...
