GFF MegaScrabble

From GFWiki

MegaScrabble works under the same basic rules as normal Scrabble, but features a much larger board and tileset to accomodate additional players. This game, like GFF Risk, was created by nuttyturnip as a way to avoid boredom at work.

Gameplay

  • Standard Scrabble rules and scoring, except for the modifications below.
  • Players start with 14 tiles, and may make 2 moves per day with those tiles (new tiles are only drawn at the beginning of each day)
  • 50 point bonus for using all 14 tiles in one day
  • Word multipliers are multiplied together (i.e., if your word covers 1 Double Word Score and 1 Triple Word Score tile, then your score is x6)
  • Everyone’s current letters will be shown in the first post.
  • We play until all tiles are exhausted. Whenever someone has used up all of their tiles and none are left to draw, the game ends at the end of that day. No points will be awarded for the tiles remaining on the other players’ lists.
  • You may use 1 turn in a day to exchange letters. Just state in the thread which letters you’re exchanging, and the host will draw them for you as soon as he can.
  • When playing a blank, put "[]" on the board.
  • Words used must be found on the official Scrabble Tournament Word List. (http://scrabulous.com/twl_dictionary.php)
  • Players should post in the thread whenever they lay down a word. Please state the word(s) you made, and what your total score for the move is.
