Seven cards are dealt to each player, which contain letters and point values. Players may replace up to three cards in their hand, with cards from the dealer's deck. Each player lays down the highest point value word that they can spell. At the end of the round, the person with the highest points wins the hand.

We have family game nights and have for years. My kids are teens now and they still look forward to game nights as quality family time.
This game is so good. For younger kids, it's challenging, improves vocabulary and spelling skills as well as some basic math, addition and multiplication.
With teens or adults, it's a fun way to spend an evening. Trying to come up with the best word you can. We just play the scoring variation where you add up your score and play 10 hands. I think we may play with chips sometime soon, betting on each hand.
A lot more variation and possible hands than poker. Because of the triple and double word score cards, there is a lot more of luck element than the Scrabble board game. You could have a great 6 letter word and be beaten by a 3 letter word that had the right combination of multipliers.
Very fast paced, a 10 hand game goes a lot faster than playing the board game. This game and a game of UNO make for a nice evening.

Scrabble endures for a good reason, anyone can play it if they can spell. My son beat me over and over and I play Scrabble online daily! Being dealt the letters with which to make your words, it's just as challenging as picking out tiles. With no board it makes for quick game turnover.
