Rules of the game in "Scrabble"

"Scrabble" is a fairly well-known and widespread game, for which both adults and children enjoy spending time. This verbal entertainment is not only incredibly fascinating, but also develops such important skills as mindfulness, quick reaction and logic. In addition, like any other game with letters and words, it promotes the expansion of vocabulary, which is very important for children of different ages.

Despite the fact that this amusement is known from ancient times, today not everyone understands how to correctly play "Scrabble", or they know only the basic rules of the game, and in its nuances they do not understand at all. In this article in detail we will get acquainted with this magnificent entertainment.

Rules of the game and detailed instructions for the game "Scrabble"

At least 2 people take part in this verbal game. As a rule, before the start of the competition, the participants think of a certain number of points, which will point to the winner if it is achieved. During the distribution, each player receives 7 random chips. At the same time, all the rest are turned upside down, shuffled and laid aside.

The first participant is determined by lot. He has to put out of his chips any word in the center of the field and arrange it horizontally, so that it is read from left to right. In the future, other words can be put on the field or in the same way, or vertically to read from top to bottom.

The next player must put on the playground another word, using the chips that are in his hands. At the same time, one letter from the first must be present in the new word, that is, the two words must intersect. It is impossible to make a new word apart from those already on the field. If any participant does not have the opportunity to lay out his word, or he simply does not want to do it, he must replace 1 to 7 chips and skip the move. At the same time on the hands of any participant at the end of the turn there should always be exactly 7 chips, regardless of what action he produced.

For each word laid out, the player receives a certain amount of points, which consists of the following items:

• the sum of points of all used letters;
• premium for the arrangement of letters on special premium cells, differing in color from the main field;
• premium for the presentation of words with special cells;
• an additional 15 points, which are awarded in the event that the player in one move was able to get rid of all the chips that he had in his hands.

In this case, it must be taken into account that the prize is given only to that player, who was the first to use premium cells and placed his chips on them. In the future such bonuses are not accrued.

A special place in the rules of the table game "Erudite" is occupied by the "star", which takes in the game any values, depending on the desire of its owner. So, this chip can be put on the field at any time and declare what role it will perform. In the future, any player has the right to replace it with the corresponding letter and take it to himself.
