FIGHTING DIRTY IN SCRABBLE by Mehal Shah - Ep 30

Scrabble isn't a game of who can get the best 7 letter words. It's a game of points and squeezing 2 letter terms into corners. Mehal Shah takes us through clean and sometimes dirty ways to win at Scrabble. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 United States License.

hahaha...how badly do you want to win your grandma at scrabble?!

[Kathy Johnson]

Lu, You can't win your grandma. She is already your grandma. You can, however, beat her in a game of scrabble. But, I agree, why would you want to win so badly?

Funny!

[Mehal Shah]

Yeah, absolutely true on both points. Much of my talk doesn't work in clubs or tournaments, and I can't bluff as well there.

What I do enjoy doing at club is playing with absurdly low time limits, like 5:00. Lots more hijinks that way.

I'm still a blue-carder at the club and consider it a super good day if I walk away breaking 400. When I do win, it's usually a sub 300 game with a closed off board and with my opponent having very little clock time left.

In the club & tournament rules, commenting about bluffs (or real words), and offering definnitions is not allowed. We play by penalty challenge and by one set dictionary.

Playing your tiles in score-maximizing ways and bluffing is still legal. Players there average 350 and higher, so you better know your words.

I hate scrabble, but next time I play, I will play dirty.
