Today's game: me, Tariq, Christine, Jean, and Kristina. We played one game all five of us. Jean rocked.
My words:
07 points - DEEM
40 points - IMAGE/EM (on the bottom center triple word)
22 points - FOUND
21 points - VOTE (on the top right triple word)
22 points - QI
-7 points when Jean went out first
95: final score
When I put down QI, I had in my hand: ASEEPI and a blank tile. I placed QI because I figured I probably couldn't do any better than 22 points, and it was near the end of the game. Right after I placed it, I realized I could have placed AS(L)EEP across the top center triple word, also making AWED vertically. That would have been... 21 points for ASLEEP, plus 8 points for AWED, and I can't remember if it would have fallen on any other multiplier blocks. So, it would have been 29 points instead of 22, and I wouldn't have had to give Jean 7 points, it would only have been 1 point. Not like it really mattered--she won with a 117, and I finished with 95, and if I had done ASLEEP instead I would have ended with 108 and she with 111, so she still would have won. But I like to do my very best. Tariq finished with an 83 and was also dissatisfied with his performance. In any case, I'm glad Jean won because she's got the crown this week and she's very excited.
Next week will probably be a big game again--Lou should come back, Liam might join us, and hopefully we'll get Kari and Karen back into it again.
