The Big Word Game
We handcrafted the word game on the wall that may remind you of SCRABBLE. Lots of hours went into designing the game board, creating the magnetized tiles, and painting the grid and border. Please enjoy it with care.
Since this is not “official” SCRABBLE, feel free to come up with your own rules. Decide on if names, contractions, slang, acronyms, or “urban slang” words are permitted. Have fun with your own variations.
The basic flow is that players each choose 7 tiles and place them on their metal boards. The first player starts their word on the star square in the center of the grid, tallies their score, and draws replacement tiles. The next player builds their word off the first player’s word, tallies their score, and so on. The player with the highest point total wins when all tiles have been used or players have dropped out due to not being able to make a word.
Internet
There are two Spectrum internet servers, 2G and 5G. The 2G gives extended range and the 5G is short range but higher speed. The password is kettlescout763.
Stereo
The stereo is on the desk and has Bluetooth capability. Speakers can be set to play indoors, outdoors, or both.
Fire Pit
Firewood is to the left of the porch. Put the mesh cover on top unless you are making (s’mores) and douse the fire when done. Do not use the fire pit on the porch or on the dock.
