plaintiger: we have a game called 'boardscript' .. its like scrabble .. but you play with 8 letters instead of 7, and when you use all (8) letters you dont het an extra bonus of 50 points, but your get an extra 'double word value' added (which is often less than 50 points :)) .. also the value per letter has been changed a bit . but the rest is completely the same as scrabble
