Make Your WORDS Count! (1)

Make Your Words Count! Game
Object of the Game: To be the first player to 100 points/high score by using the cards in hand (5 or 7 cards dealt) to make words.

How to Play: Choose a dealer.*Community Vowel cards (A, E, I, O, U) will be laid out by the dealer on the playing board. *Each Community Vowel can be used once per round when making words. *Dealer will then shuffle remaining cards & deal 5 or 7 cards to each player to make their best word. *After dealing cards to each player, the remaining cards will be placed faced down in a pile to pick from each round. *Each round, players will make their own words by using the cards in their hand and/or Community Vowels on the playing board. *Each player will display their created words to earn points based on value of each card.

Keep track of the scores. For example, if you have the letters W, R, D, S & T in hand & the Community Vowels are A, E, I, O and U, you can make W O R D S from the letters in hand and O from the Community Vowels. Since W = 4, O = 0 (Community Vowel), R = 1, D = 2 and S = 1, the point total equals 8 (i.e. 4+1+2+1) for the round. Each player will have 30 seconds to make a word each round. *For the next round, pick up the number of cards used from the pile. *You can discard up to two cards per round (can still play the round). *Use all cards in hand = 20 more points!
