BO
The playing board consists of 15 x 15 squares in the playing
area with gridlines to separate the squares. There are special
premium squares on the board with bonus score values:
Premium Letter Squares
A light blue square doubles the score of a letter placed on it.
A dark blue square triples the score of a letter placed on it.
Premium W
A light red square doubles the score of the word.
A dark red square triples the score of the word.
If a word crosses both premium letter and word squares, all the
bonus letter values are added up before the complete w
score is double or tripled.
The bonus scores of the premium squares only apply to the
turn in which the tiles are placed on them.
When a blank is placed on a red T
the sum of the tiles in the word is doubled or tripled ev
though the blank itself has no score value. When it is placed on
a blue T
is still zero.
In this case the player has on their rack and
they play: T1 R1
Scoring the first wor
A player completes their turn by counting and announcing
their score, which is recorded by the scorekeeper
The score for the turn is calculated by adding up all the values
of the numbers on the tiles, plus any premium values from
utilising the premium squares.
In this case T scores 1 and is doubled to 2 because it is on a
Double Letter square; R is 1 ; A is 1 ; I is 1 ; N is 1 = 6 . Note: The
centre square is light red - it counts as a Double W
so the whole score is doubled to 12 points.
Ending a turn
At the end of every turn, the player draws as many new tiles as
they have play
After Move 1, Play
they must therefore draw 5 new tiles.
Added 50-point bonus
Any play
scores a premium of 50 points in addition to their regular score
for the turn. The 50 points are added on after doubling or
tripling a word score.
In this case, player 1 plays TRAINER , scoring 16 points in
normal play + 50 for the bonus word = 66 points. They then
draw 7 new tiles and their turn is complete.
