📖 About This Game
This game is a card-based adaptation of Scrabble game-play. The deck has 69 letter cards, a majority of which are basic cards and just have a letter score. For each vowel, there are 3 basic cards, and one each of x2, x3, and x4 letter score cards, which multiply adjacent consonants in their word by that amount. There are also 15 consonant cards that multiply the score for the entire word by x2, x3, or x4.
Each player is dealt an 8-card hand. On their turn, a player plays a word from their hand that must use one basic card from the previous player's word if there is one; they tally the word's score and then draw to fill their hand back to 8 cards. A player may also just pass and draw one card.
The game ends after the deck runs out and all players pass in turn. The highest total score wins the game.
