Description

Manipulation rummy with words.

There are 52 cards, 2 for each letter of the alphabet, and a wild Brain Card. In their turn a player may play words from the 5-card hand, or extend existing words by adding letters to them, or take cards from existing words (as long as they leave a valid word) to make other words.

Points scored are:
100 for 5 letter word from dealt hand. (All hands are redealt after that
70 for a 6 letter word
60 for a 5 letter word
10 per letter for words shorter than 5 letters
10 per letter for extending an existing word
50 for using the Brain Card
-10 per letter for an incorrect word

The winner is the first to reach 500.

If a player can make a 5-letter word from their starting hand they score 100 points and new hands are dealt to everyone.
