They are the same as ordinary Rummy, except for a few things: you are with words instead of sets and runs, of course ... and you start with 14 tiles, fill your tiles to 5 (?) each turn (see below for the printed line), and double your score if you use all your tiles. You must start with a first sign of a 6-letter word your rack before playing other words or manipulating the words on the table. Minimum number of letters in a word is three.
We played last weekend, and it seemed too easy for me. For the more challenging, we have the minimum amount of four letter ... which made it more challenging. I am pleased that as an alternative if you play and find it too easy.
Summary of additional information (printed lines):
Score is 1 point per letter longest word you down, or rearranged the longest word in the table you have added at least one letter from your rack. Double the score at each turn in which you use all the letters in your rack in one turn.
You may use multiple words (3 letters or more) in the same turn, and manipulate words already on the table (add, rearrange and combine, etc.) remain on the table until all the tiles played and all tiles are valid words (but you only score of the longest). You may not be a word the same as one already on the table.
The Joker (there are 2) has the same value as 1 point each letter. Once played it should remain on the table, but can be substitued for matching real letter of your rack and moved in other words on the table in the same turn.
No manipulation of presented words is allowed, unless at least one tile to playing your rack. If you can not play at least one tile from your rack at each turn you must take an extra tile from the unused pool tile (so you sometimes more than 7 tiles). After each turn in which you play tile (s), take enough to 7 tiles on your rack from the pool until the pool runs out of tiles. The game ends when the reserve pool of tiles is completed, and either a player has no tiles left, or no player can play one another. (There does not seem a score against a player for the remaining tiles on the end of the game)
"Recommended" 1 minute time limit per play. If you have not finished - you give all the tiles and re-played words to their original position, and take a penalty tile from the pool.
A more challenging variation is a 'theme', where all words must refer to a particular topic.
There are 110 tiles with the following breakdown:
A = 10, B = 2, C = 4, D = 4, E = 10, F = 2, G = 3, H = 3, I = 7, J = 1, K = 2, L = 7, M = 3
N = 6, O = 8, P = 4, Q = 1, R = 7, S = 7, T = 8, U = 4, V = 1, B = 2, X = 1, Y = 2, Z = 1, = 2 Jokers
