Ages 8+, 2-4 players
When it comes to word games, I'm the first to the table! I thought I had played most Scrabble versions until I recently spotted this one. How did I miss it?
Setting up the game includes giving each person an individual board (2-4 can play), placing a number of tiles face-up on the blue, round podium, and each player choosing 7 tiles from the bag to place on his own rack.
For each round, all players create one word simultaneously on their own individual boards from their own tile racks. When everyone is done, each word is scored. To replace the tiles on the racks for the next round, each person takes one tile at a time, either from the face-up tiles or the unseen tiles in the bag, until they again have seven. Unique twist - if a player plays a blank tile, he must trade his board with anyone else's board of his choice. Or how about this twist: After each round, players push their boards to the person on the left. All players add their new word, score it, then pass it to the left again. Keep going until the tiles are gone.
The game ends when all 100 tiles are used. The highest scorer wins. I personally like the interaction and challenge of playing on other people's words, but this is a fun version to mix it up for Scrabble lovers like me.
