OBJECTIVE:
Score the most cards
SETUP:
- Shuffle the cards and give each player 5 cards
- Place 10 cards face up to form the STOCK pile
- Place the remaining cards face down to form the DRAW pile
LET’S PLAY:
- Youngest player starts
- Use your cards to form a word with the top letter from the STOCK pile
- If you can form a word, you will score (get) all the cards you just used; then take a card from the DRAW pile
- If you cannot form a word, take a card from the DRAW pile
- Taking a new card ends your turn; the player to your left gets the chance to form a word now
RULES:
- You must use at least 3 cards to form a word (2 letter words are not allowed)
- If you have used all your cards, take 5 new cards form the DRAW pile but don’t form a new word until your next turn
- If you want to exchange cards, you may do so in a 2:1 ratio (return 2 to the bottom of the draw pile and take 1 new card) and that ends your turn
ROUNDS:
The round is over once a player forms a word with the letter on the last card of the STOCK pile
ROUND WINNER:
- The player with the most cards wins the round
- In a tie (equal amount of cards) the player who got the most A’s wins; if still tied move on to B’s; if still tied move on to C’s and so on
GAME WINNER:
The player who first wins 3 rounds wins the game
