Scarabeo

Players draw a rack of eight letter tiles and form words on a shared grid, scoring points for letters and for landing tiles on bonus squares. Each play must use at least one tile already on the board, encouraging connections and incremental building. Play cycles through drawing and replacing tiles, tallying letter values and board multipliers until tiles are exhausted; the highest total score wins. The game emphasizes vocabulary, tile management, and tactical placement to control access to premium spaces.
