LET’S PLAY SCRABBLE. This time it’s for real!

  • Each person draws a letter. The letter closest to A goes first. (Blank beats A.)
  • Draw continues clockwise (to the left) after that.
  • If no one volunteers, the person with the letter farthest from A is scorekeeper.
  • Put those letters back and draw seven (7) each.
  • Keep score like this (don’t write what’s in the parentheses):
Jimmy (First Player)
17 (first turn)

23 (total so far)
14 (third turn)
37 (total so far)		 Johnny (Second Player)
