게임을 시작하기 전에 다음 단계를 따라 준비하세요.

1. Assemble the Gameboard: Place the four rubber feet into the designated holes on the underside of the gameboard to prevent it from sliding.
2. Prepare the Letter Tiles: Place all 100 letter tiles face down and mix them thoroughly. These form the draw pile.
3. Distribute Tile Racks: Each player selects one tile rack.
4. 초기 타일을 그리세요: Each player draws seven letter tiles and places them on their tile rack, keeping them hidden from other players.
5. 첫 번째 플레이어를 결정하세요: The player with the letter closest to 'A' goes first. In case of a tie, those players draw again. Return drawn letters to the pile and mix.

플레이 방법

Upwords is played in turns, with players forming words on the gameboard. The unique stacking mechanic allows for strategic play and higher scores.

Playing Words

• On your turn, use some or all of the letters on your rack to form a word on the gameboard.
• Words must be at least two letters long.
• Words can be formed horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally.
• The first word played must cover the center square of the board.
• Subsequent words must connect to at least one existing letter on the board.

타일 ​​쌓기

• You can place a new letter tile on top of an existing letter tile on the board, provided the new tile changes the word.
• A stack of tiles can be up to five tiles high.
• When you stack a tile, the new word formed must be valid and incorporate the new top letter.
• You cannot place a tile on top of another tile if it does not form a new, valid word.

Ending Your Turn

• After playing your word(s) and calculating your score, draw new tiles from the draw pile to replenish your rack to seven tiles.
• If the draw pile is empty, continue playing without drawing new tiles.
• Your turn ends, and play passes to the next player clockwise.

득점

Points are awarded for each letter in every word formed or altered during your turn. The height of the stack determines the point value of each letter.

• Single-Layer Word: Each letter in a word that is only one tile high scores 1 point.
• Stacked Word: Each letter in a word that is part of a stack scores points equal to the number of tiles in that stack. For example, a letter in a stack of three tiles scores 3 points.
• Multiple Words: If your play forms or alters multiple words (e.g., a word across and a word down), you score for all words formed or altered.
• Using All Tiles: If you use all seven tiles from your rack in a single turn, you receive a bonus of 50 points in addition to your word score.

Keep a running tally of each player's score throughout the game.

게임에서 승리하다

The game ends when all letter tiles have been drawn and one player has used all the tiles from their rack, or when no player can make a valid move. The player with the highest total score at the end of the game wins.
