About the Game

Each player takes five face-down letter tablets after shuffling. Divide black tablets equally between all the players. Players then take turns placing black tablets on the board, leaving at least one square (including diagonally) between tablets. Players then take turns making words on the board using the letter tablets, ensuring that the word fits between two black tablets. Each tablet in a completed word scores one point. Highest score wins the game.
