Scrabble has been (arguably) America's favorite word game for the last 50 years. It's a game in which 2-4 players take turns placing letters on a 15x15 game board. The goal is to form horizontal and vertical words that are connected to other already played word. Each letter has an associated score value that determines the value of each played word. There are special cells on the board that double and triple both letter and word values. Play continues until all of each players pieces have been played and/or they cannot play anymore.
