Scrabble Duplicate Crossword Game

This is a a version of Scrabble that all of the people at a party can play.

Each players has a sheet that matches the Scrabble board. The dealer deals out 7 cards with letters and each player plays a word using those letters on his personal board, as if playing Scrabble. Each turn 7 new letters are dealt out. The game continues until the deck (which matches the letter distribution of regular Scrabble) runs out.

As the game progresses players will make different decisions than they would in the regular game. There are no defensive considerations to consider, but how to set yourself up for the highest score is tricky.
