Scabbler is a new way to play Scrabble. It’s just like scrabble with the following new rules.
Placing words:
1. Words made in Scabbler must be non-scrabble-words. I.e. they can not appear in the Scrabble dictionary.
2. Words made in Scabbler must be well formed, that is, they must sound like a real English word.
Scoring points:
1. Same rules as scrabble
2. with the additional rule that non-scrabble words that anagram to scrabble words receive a multiplier of 1+the number of anagrams found at the time of placing a word.
Scabbing points:
1. A player can scab the points away from another player by contesting the non-scrabble-wordness of another players word by looking it up in the dictionary. If it turns out to be a real word, the contester receives the value of that word in points. If the word turns out to be a non-scrabble-word, then the contester loses half the value of that word in points.
That’s it. Happy gaming!
