Scrabble Word Play Poker Card Game
This game combines the best of the classic game of Scrabble with the high stakes excitement of Poker!
The classic board game of Scrabble gets an extreme fun makeover with this portable, card version.
Using some of the rules of standard 7-card draw poker, Scrabble Word Play Poker allows players to discard undesirable letter cards in favor of replacements in order to spell higher scoring words.
A game to please both word lovers and poker players is in the cards. Includes 110 Scrabble Word Play Poker Cards and instructions.
Players weave spelling skills together within the framework of a poker style game for an 'all in' fun game. Seven cards are dealt to each player, which contain letters and point values. Players may replace up to three cards in their hand, with cards from the dealer's deck.
Each player lays down the highest point value word that they can spell. At the end of the round, the person with the highest points wins the hand. The winner is the person with the highest score after 10 rounds.
Also includes rules for a Hold 'Em Style game! Players will combine the letters in their hand with the community cards in the center of the table to form words. Score is determined the same as the regular game.

Test Word and Poker Skills
in WordKing Poker
Combine two skills and double your fun!
If you have ever enjoyed any form of gambling, and at the same time craved some intellectual stimulation, WordKing Poker has got to be the game for you.
At least, that is what I feel about it. In WordKing Poker you get to play poker and scrabble all at the same time! What this game is in effect is a poker game which uses scrabble pieces!
That is why I always call it poker for the intellect. And you can play it wherever you are at any time of day or night since it comes on the mobile phone.
Why I love to play WordKing Poker
For me, while I always loved playing scrabble (because of the concept of the whole word forming thing of the game), I did find that it was not as cool as more high tech modern games are today. So when I found out about WordKing Poker, and saw the super cool graphics, I saw that as my opportunity to play scrabble at a higher, cooler level.
The only thing I would change about WordKing Poker is making it multiplayer. It is unfortunate that this feature is not yet included in the game.
Variety in WordKing Poker
The other cool thing about WordKing Poker is the variety it entails. You can play lots of different types of poker like 7 card stud, 5 card, Texas Hold'em and more, and at the same time use your word play skills.
The game has a really comprehensive dictionary too and the higher level game you play, the more challenging it will be for those real word buffs.
How to play WordKing Poker
Players get dealt 2 scrabble cards which have a letter and the point score (as in regular scrabble). The aim of the game is to use the letters you have (along with ones you will take from the community pile like in a poker game) so that you can create the longest and highest score words.
Depending on how much you bet will depend on how much you win.
