I got the exact same score at the end of both games.
Here's the proof . . .
The first two columns are the score card for Game 1. You can see that I won with a total of 287 points. You can also see that it was a very close game. We were exactly tied right in the middle of the game too.
When I finished tallying the unused tiles in Game 2, I was shocked to see that I received the exact same score from the game before.
My mom is a tough Scarbble opponent and might have won this second game it it weren't for some brilliant wordplay by yours truly. I spelled "acquire" with the "Q" tile on a double letter score and the entire word falling on a double word score. One play - 50 points. Very nice!
I then played three words in one turn by added an "S" to form "acquires" while also spelling "seed" and connecting the "D" to the end of a third word.
It was a nice series of Scrabble games this week. It really is my favourite board game.

Hi Chase .. I love scrabble too - though rarely play now-a-days ..
ReplyDeleteWell done on winning and those two scores .. I guess it does happen - but this time you noticed!
Cheers Hilary
Hi Hilary,
ReplyDeleteWe always keep the scoring paper from the last game inside the box. It's a nice reminder of what happened last time we played. I try to reuse the page as well so sometimes we have records of the last four games.
I think we are pretty evenly matched for the most part. My mom wins just as often or maybe a little more so than I do.
Hope you have a great week!
