Ok so in my dream last night I had an epiphany. Countdown Scrabble.
In these rules, each round someone has the job of picking how many consonants and vowels.
Then everyone has a time to work out the highest scoring word on the board.
Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.
Any unused tiles go back in the box and used again.
It's a good idea but a usual 45 minute game would now turn into a 3 hour game.
Iโll see how it goes and report back ๐
Make sure you time it. Hopefully you don't get left an X F Z at the end. Good luck.
Could always go by rounds too. Eg 3 rounds, 5 rounds, exhausted tiles
That's much better. A quick game's a good game. ๐
Loser sculls.
there would need to be two boxes
Whoever finds the highest scoring gets the points and places the word down.
Highest scoring move or highest scoring word?
there needs to be a timer
Highest scoring move! Timer definitely needed
it would be a strange game.
In ordinary scrabble a player can win by having the best average word score but not having any very high scoring words. In countdown scrabble every move is the highest score amongst the players. A player with a good average but no highest scores would never get a turn.
