to play gentle Scrabble
These might make a great video game even more enjoyable.
Maximize your total score: These rules are the same as regular Scrabble. However, you should focus on increasing the total score for all players and not trying to defeat them. It’s subtle and can be difficult for some players, but it creates more magic for everyone.
Keep it close: A simple rule change can alter the dynamics. If you are behind in the score, it is possible to flip any of your tiles and use it as a blank. As the game progresses, this automatically corrects itself.
Bonus points for bluffing. 100 bonus points if you can get away with using a word not found in the dictionary. The game also has risk and social elements.
Get it done quickly: Joanna, my friend, invented a version that requires you to place the tiles as quickly as possible. You get more points the more you play with the shared pile. There are many variations, but the concept is simple.
PS. I have a lot of fun playing this App. It’s relaxing and not enervating to play against other people. You can also press a button to see your best move. This will help you improve your game.
