Description

A simple Rummy game that tests players' vocabulary and their ability to form anagrams.

Each player is dealt seven 'letter' cards. On their turn they have three options:

1. Form and meld one word of three or more letters
2. Change one word previously placed by adding letters from your hand (this allows you to 'steal' an opponent's word)
3. Draw one card from the draw deck and discard one card

When the draw deck runs out and players are unable to form or change words, the round ends and points are scored. Points are awarded for words based on their length, bonus points are awarded for words of six or more letters.

A number of rounds are played to reach a set goal... usually 25 or 50 points.
