Scrabble

Scrabble is a word game where 2-4 players score points by placing letter tiles on a game board to form words. The game was invented in 1938 by Alfred Butts and later sold to James Brunot who renamed it to Scrabble. Players receive points based on the letters used in their words, with different letters having different point values like J, X, and Q being the highest. The objective is to score more points than other players by strategically forming words that maximize points based on the letters. Extra points can be earned by placing letters on special blue squares that double or triple the letter's value.

HOW TO PLAY
:WHEN PLAYING SCRABBLE, ANYWHERE FROM
TWO TO FOUR PLAYERS WILL ENJOY THE GAME.
THE OBJECT WHEN PLAYING IS TO SCORE MORE
POINTS THAN OTHER PLAYERS. AS WORDS ARE
PLACED ON THE GAME BOARD, POINTS ARE
COLLECTED AND EACH LETTER THAT IS USED IN
THE GAME WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT POINT VALUE.
THE MAIN STRATEGY IS TO PLAY WORDS THAT
HAVE THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE SCORE BASED ON
THE COMBINATION OF LETTERS.
Extra Point Values
When looking at the board, players will see that some squares
offer multipliers. Should a tile be placed on these squares, the
value of the tile will be multiplied by 2x or 3x. Some squares
will also multiply the total value of the word and not just the
single point value of one tile.
Double Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are
isolated and when these are used, they will double the value of
the tile placed on that square.
Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell in the board will be
worth triple the amount, so any tile placed here will earn more
points.
