Description
The card game Scrabble Cards brings classic Scrabble to the table without a game board. You build words from letter cards that interlock with the words on the table like in a crossword, and double and triple word cards earn you even more points. The box contains rules for three different games.
How to play Scrabble Cards
In the classic game, each player holds 7 letter cards. On your turn, you lay down a word, exchange any number of cards or pass. A new word must connect to the words on the table: you can extend an existing word, cross it or lay a new word parallel to it. Your score is the sum of the letter values, and whoever uses all 7 cards in one turn gets 50 bonus points.
The game ends when the draw pile runs out and someone has played all their cards, or when all of you pass twice in a row. The player with the most points wins.
Why you'll love it
- Three games in one box: classic, with action cards and over ten rounds with different goals.
- With action cards, you can score points even during another player's turn – or take points away from them.
- You choose the double and triple word cards yourself and place them where they score the most.
- A small box that is easy to take with you.
Who is Scrabble Cards for
The game is for two to four players aged 10 and up. The rules are fairly simple, and anyone who knows Scrabble will pick them up quickly. To keep score, you also need a pencil and paper.
What might you not like?
Which letters you get is partly down to luck, and the game calls for a good vocabulary. So it may not be the best fit for those who don't enjoy playing with words.
