What This Blog Is About & Yesterday's Words!

Hello! I'm Anouchka! This blog is dedicated to the silly word combinations my mother & I come up with while playing Scrabble Word Play Poker. We didn't much like the rules for the game itself, so we made up our own :P Basically, each person gets 10 cards with which to spell 1 or more words. On each turn, you can draw up to 3 cards out of the pile, but you have to discard an equal amount. Once one person has their word/words, everyone playing stops drawing and has to spell out words with the cards they have. As for scoring, you just add up all the points on the cards you used (leaving out any letters you didn't use).

Our words yesterday were...

Mom: 
*Rout
*Sequin
*Phlox
*Globe
*Fluke
*Raid
*Kilt
*Nanite
*Dub
*Geez
*Hop
*Tipi
*Laurel
*Quay
*Dazzle

Me:
*Jerk
*Geode
*Otters
*Lily
*Jungle
*Daft
*Yule
*Pajama
*Vomit
*Vows
*Reptile
*God

I wanted to share these because I thought some of the words we came up with were pretty funny. "Vomit," and "Vows," were in the same hand! lol. "Reptile," and "God," were also in the same hand together. We came up with some funny stuff! Mom's final score was 485 while mine was 602. :)
