3 players: 50 tiles
4 players: 70 tiles

Reserve a pile of face down tiles in a draw pile as per the number of players:
Set the remaining tiles aside and out of sight.
Game Play:
Pull one tile from the bottom of any column, letting the tiles in the column slide down.
Add a tile from the draw pile face up to the top of same column, except when there is only one tile left which is placed face down as the game-ending mystery tile.
Attempt to make a word from two or more of your tiles.
When made, place your word in a separate collection pile.
Ending the Game: The game ends when someone pulls the face down mystery tile. That player gets to use that tile to form a word, if possible. At this point the game ends.
