SCRABBLE

Scrabble is a word game in which two to four players score points by placing
tiles, each bearing a single letter, onto a game board divided into a 15x15 grid of
squares. The tiles must form words that, in crossword fashion, read left to right in rows
or downward in columns, and be included in a standard dictionary or lexicon.

Rules in playing scrabble


• All tiles should be placed in a letter pouch or placed face down on the table beside
the board.
• Ensure that letters are well mixed, and that players do not know which letter is in a
particular spot.
• To determine who goes first, each player draws a letter – the player with the letter
closest to “A” goes first. The ‘blank’ tile automatically goes first.
• Ensure you thoroughly remix the tiles before drawing letters. Each player draws 7
letters and places them on his or her letter rack.
• There are three main steps to a turn:
1) Play a Word
2) Total the Score for that Word
3) Draw Tiles to Replace the Tiles Played
• The first player must play his or her first word on the center square of the board, the
spot that has a ‘star’ on it.
• All words must be two or more letters long. Words are played either vertically or
horizontally. Diagonal word play is not permitted.

• Play always moves clockwise (to the left). Each player must playoff of words
already present on the board. This may involve changing existing words (for
example, making the word ‘play’ into ‘player’) or by incorporating a letter into
the word you are playing.
• You can place letters in both directions on a single turn. The letters placed must form
complete words. Anytime two or more letters touch, they must form valid, legal words.
For example, if you add an ‘s’ to an existing word to make it plural and then build a
separate word from that ‘s’ in the opposite direction, you will get full credit for both
words. No tile can be moved or shifted once it is played (baring a successful
challenge).
• Whenever a word is played, other players may challenge the word if they do not
believe it is a real word or it is spelled wrong. According to Scrabble rules,
players should agree before the game begins on the dictionary that they will
use.
• If you want to challenge an opponent’s word, you must challenge it before the play
moves on to the next player. If the challenged word is not legal, the tiles must
be returned to the player’s hand and that player loses the turn. If a word is
challenged and it is legal, the challenger loses his or her next turn. If multiple
words are made in a turn, all words are challenged when one word is
challenged. If any of the words are not legal, all tiles will be returned to their
owner’s hand and that player loses his or her turn.
• The dictionary should only be consulted if a word is actually challenged and should
never be used before a word is played for verification purposes.

Score Keeping
• One player should be elected as the score keeper. The scorekeeper should
doublecheck the tally for each word. Each letter tile has the value of that letter.
Unless the tile is on a Premium Letter Square, these should be counted at face value
and totaled for the word.

Winning the Game


• When one player plays his or her last tile, and no more tiles are available to draw,
the game is over per scrabble rules. Any remaining tiles should be subtracted
from that player’s score. The player with the highest score wins the game. You
may opt to allow each player one turn to attempt to play as many of his or her
remaining tiles as possible.

CHESS

Chess is a recreational and competitive board game played between two


players. It is sometimes called Western or international chess to distinguish it from
related games such as xiangqi. The current form of the game emerged in Southern
Europe during the second half of the 15th century after evolving from similar, much
older games of Indian and Persian origin. Today, chess is one of the world’s most
popular games, played by millions of people worldwide at home, in clubs, online, by
correspondence, and in tournaments.
