Contents: 54 cards, each with a letter and point value, or a wild card Pencil Score Pad Carrying Case The deck is dealt out to make a face-down hand for each player. For a turn a player reveals the top card of their hand and either plays it to the table, or uses it plus cards already on the table to form a word, keeping all the cards used. After all cards are played the player with the highest total score for the cards they gathered wins. There are also detailed rules for a solitaire game, whose object is to go through the deck in a similar manner and use all the cards to form words. (The rules say "for two players" for the regular game, but this is playable just as easily with more than two. The older game Logomachy has similar game play and deck size, and it allows for more players, though it recommends teams for an even numbers of players, and two decks for six or more.) —user summary
