We had so many people for Scrabble today that we had to split into two groups! Luckily, we had two Scrabble boards. Jean, Christine, and Karen's daughter Monica played a game, and I played with Kari (back from maternity leave), Tariq, and Lou. It was a really fun game. I was pretty proud of my game today:
- skipped the first turn for lack of vowels
- JET (18 points)
- SWIRLY / BY (31 points; possible only because Lou agreed to trade me an I for my V, because I still didn't have any vowels)
- QUART (15 points; at which point Lou commented on how neat it would be if somebody had a Z or a ERS or a ERLY to put on the end of it)
- TRAWL (16 points)
- QUARTZ / ZA (37 points; because I got the Z and Lou had given me the idea; ZA is a word in the dictionary, it's short for pizza; and Kari was going to play the ERS on her next turn and land it on the triple-word so I totally snuck in ahead of her)
- DUCK / DE (25 points)
Lou used all his letters first, so after I subtracted six points for what was left in my hand, I had a final score of 136. Tariq beat me with a 163, then Kari had 115 and Lou 113. So it was a fairly close game. I love Scrabble Thursdays.
