2-6 Players

Objective:

To create the best scoring hand using the cards dealt to you. The player with the highest value word wins the hand.

Contents:

The deck includes 110 cards. There are 74 letter- letter cards, 32 premium score cards, and 4 wild cards. All letters have a number value. Wild cards do not have a value.

P remium Double and Triple Score Cards:

If a player forms a word with more than one premium card (i.e. double or triple word or letter cards), the score is doubled or tripled and then redoubled or re-tripled according to the players cards in that word. Include premiums for double or triple letter values, if any, before doubling or tripling the word score.

Scrabble Word Play Poker - Standard Edition

Game play:

Shuffle the deck of cards and deal each player one card. The player with the letter card closest to A wins the deal. These cards are now placed back in the deck. Make copies of the included score sheet, or use a piece of paper to keep a tally of each player’s

score, entering it after each hand.

The dealer shuffles and deals 7 cards facedown to each player, which only the player sees. The deal always starts to the left of the dealer. Players may now have one 3 card draw (a player may take a maximum of 3 cards from their hand and replace them with new cards from the deck). The player to the left of the dealer starts the draw. Players now create the highest value word using the letter cards in their hand.

Players must lay their hands down in the order of the game play. A word laid is a word played. Once a player’s hand is down and their word is formed, the word cannot be changed.

The player with the highest value word (only one word may be formed in each hand) wins the hand. The score for each hand is the sum of the letter val- ues in each word formed plus the additional points obtained from premium score cards.

Winner:

The player with the highest final score wins the game. Players can choose to set a time limit or maxi- mum score to win the game.

Scrabble Word Play Poker - Hold ‘Em Style

Game play:

Each player is dealt two cards face down. The dealer turns the first card from the top of the deck and lays it face down. This is called a “burn”. Three cards are now placed face up in the middle of the table (flop), which are community cards.

Players combine the two cards in their hand with the community cards to form words. The dealer now burns a second card before turning one more card
