Back to Donald Sauter's main Scrabble page.
ATTENTION: This is a RETIRED web page, although you are more than welcome to stick around as long as you'd like. In February 2009 I revamped all my Scrabble pages, focusing everything on Scrabble II, not the steps leading to Scrabble II. These are the first Scrabble II games ever played, though. These same games are presented in a different format in a new page, World's Best Scrabble Boards, Season 1.
What is Extended-board Scrabble?
Let me quote from my main Scrabble page:
Only very recently (writing in February 2008) was I alerted to the existence of Super Scrabble. A bit of research on the web showed straight away that Super Scrabble is not for me. It charges headlong in the opposite direction from where I'm going. With its outer rows and columns jam-packed with premium squares, including quadruple-letter and quadruple-word scores, Super Scrabble places even greater emphasis on Scrabble's worn-out, OSPD baby words. Why even worry your brain with bingoes when you can make 50-point plays blindfolded with any F, H, W, or Y? Never mind 100-point plays with the J, Q, X, and Z . . . What's a crummy 50-point bingo bonus worth, anyhow, when players score up in the 800s in a game?
But those extra three rows on all sides of a conventional Scrabble board - now that got me thinking of all the times I couldn't get a play down just because I "ran out of road!" Wouldn't it be nice to be able to blast right through the border? Why not? It would open things up without altering the essence of Scrabble in any way - unless you take it as a fundamental principle that everyone has to scrounge around playing off a tile or two at a time when the board gets crowded. Wouldn't it be nice to be zinging 4-, 5-, and 6-tile plays right to the end of the game?
These are the rules for Extended-board Scrabble.
Procure a Super Scrabble board. Visualize the board as a familiar, 15x15 main board and the outer three rows along each side forming wings to the main board. Ignore all premium values shown in the wings. All squares in the wings are single-valued. The wings are only for allowing words to extend past the edge of the main board. Every play is still pegged to the main board, meaning that every play must include at least one tile played on the main board (not just connected to a tile on the main board.) Naturally, any tiles that touch in the wings must form valid words, crossword-style, and those words will figure in the score.
Put the other way around, you cannot make a play wholly in a wing; you cannot merely extend a word that stops at the edge of the main board into a wing. You will see that no word can ever extend into any of the 3x3 blocks at the corners of the board. In fact, you might want to slice a diagonal off of each corner to make the oversized board a bit more rotation-friendly.
Until you get a Super Scrabble board, you can play Extended-board Scrabble quite comfortably on the standard cardboard Scrabble board, at least for two-player games. When you play into a wing some tiles will have to fall just off the board, on the table top. That makes turning the board impracticable. The solution is just to position the board and yourselves so that you're both looking at the board from a slight angle and you never have to move the board. I know anybody who took it that far could have figured that out; but I just wanted to make sure nobody feels like you can't play Extended-board Scrabble without a Super Scrabble board. In fact, the first Extended-board Scrabble games ever played were on the board from my set with the 1949 copyright!
Here are the first Extended-board Scrabble games ever played. They were played in the Dover Scrabble Club and date from February through April 2008. They were played under all of these rules:
Incidentally, Scrabble played by all of these rules combined is called Transcendental Scrabble. Halfway into your first game you'll understand why.
Be aware that "three-letter minimum" means that, of all the words formed in a given play, at least one of them must be at least three letters long.
For each game, I present the board twice. The second grid has all the tiles flipped across the diagonal. This makes words that were vertical on the original board horizontal on the flipped board. Thus, you can read all the words played just by scanning left to right and simply ignoring anything going on vertically.
A lower-case letter on the board indicates a blank.
"Total points" is the total points scored by all the players.
"Power tiles" shows all the power tiles in the game, played and unplayed.
"Anomalies" shows the cases where there was less than half, or more than twice, the number of a given letter in the standard 100-tile set.
"Percent expected vowels" shows the deviation from the expected number of vowels (A E I O U) in the bag, based on 42 per 100 tiles in the standard set.
* = unused 3W score.
+ = corner squares of the 21x21 board.
"1st-timers" are words which had never been played in the Dover Scrabble Club since I started keeping a record of the finished boards in the summer of 2007. "Old-timers", of course, are words which have been played before.
If you haven't been exposed to my idea of drawing a set of tiles from a mixture of three sets, please take particular note of the "Power tiles", "Anomalies", and "Percent expected vowels" statistics.
