Scrabble
One time, I was playing Scrabble, see? There were no tiles left in the bag. I had 7 tiles, my opponent had but 5, and it was my turn. Sadly, I was trailing 231 to 340, a difference of 109 points. That’s lots in any game, but darn near insurmountable in the late stages of a Scrabble match. In other words, I was pretty sure I was all for the can.
Before me on my wooden rack lay the letters UUERQS, and a blank tile. I stared and pondered, and lo and behold, discovered a word amidst my tiles. I played BRUSQUE across a triple-word-score square, and with the word I created going down, plus 50 points for using all my tiles, I earned 103 points. On top of that, as the bag was empty, I earned an additional 6 points for the tiles my opponent had left, and said opponent lost 6 points for those very same tiles.
The end result? I won the game 346-334; the once-certain thumping had become a narrow victory at the last moment. I felt pretty cool that day, let me tell you, because only the cool kids play Scrabble, right?
