(from publisher's website:) Alphabet Roundabout Crossword Game, is alive with the spirit of Victorian whimsy. Alphabet Roundabout is both a thoughtful crossword-style game and a wild, spirited race to enter 'PiQadilly Circus.' This is a game that kids love to play, a perfect meeting place for adults and children. 2 to 4 players make crossword-style wordplays, then 'riffle along the ruffle' in a madcap race. A great educational resource that builds vocabulary and spelling skills. Adult word game and crossword enthusiasts will love it.Note: This appears to be a duplicate entry in BGG. There is an earlier game called 'PiQadilly Circus' from 1994 with the same components. This game is most likely a reprint with a different name/box: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/game/17192 - BoardGameGeek
