Hajiku Nemoly is a roll-and-write crossword game inspired by classic Nordic-style fill-in puzzles.
Game lasts 10-12 rounds and each round has three phases: roll, write, and score.
Players collect random word units, use them to build complete words on their crossword grids (simultaneously and secretly), and then score the completed words in multiple categories. Words that are related to adjacent icons give bonus points, but repeating identical words induces a penalty. Special rewards are given for filling rows and columns. The player with most victory points wins.
Game booklet includes 12 thematic scenario grids, each with their own special rules.
All scenarios are naturally suited for solo play with minimal rules differences. Additionally, all word grids may be solved like traditional fill-in puzzles with some new twists.
