About the Game

The game consists of a deck of 54 cards, each with a single letter and point value on it, as well as several 'Free' cards that can be used as any letter. The entire deck is dealt out to all players face down. Players may not look at their deck, but on their turn, flip over the top card and add it to the center of the table. If they can make a word from the cards in the middle, they take it and score the points on those letters. Play continues until all cards are used, and the player with the highest score wins.
