Squabbles

The object of the game is to gain the highest score by the end of the game. Each player forms their own interlocking crossword game on a table surface and works independently. Players may arrange (an re-arrange) the positions of their letter tiles as often as they need to complete words. All ties have a face value which, along with a few other special rules, is what scores at the end of the game.

During the game, when a player has used all their tiles, they yell grab and all players must grab another tile to add to their crossword. If a Bad Boy tile is grabbed, play pauses and the player reveals the top card of the Bad Boy deck and resolves it. It could be gain 10 points, swap places with another player or get rid of the word zoo if you have it.

Play continues in this manner until all tiles have been used. Then the scores on the tiles are added up, all 8 letter words get a bonus 10 points, and any bonus points are scored.
