"Take one"

Take One is a multi-player, speed variation of Scrabble.

Materials needed
Letters from one or more Scrabble games (more if you have quite a few players), or suitable substitute.
Optional for obsessive-compulsive dictionary checkers: Scrabble Dictionary

Players
Two to at least a dozen

Directions
Turn the letter tiles upside down on a table, mix.
Each player takes seven letters.

On a signal, players turn their pieces over and begin forming interlocked words with their letters. Unlike Scrabble, players do not play off of others' words, only their own.
When one player has used all of his tiles, he calls "take one" and each player takes another tile from the center pile.
Players may rearrange any and all of their tiles after they have been played.
The round ends after the center pile of tiles is gone, and one player has used all of his tiles.

Scoring
Players receive points as marked on the tiles, with tiles used in two words counted twice. Players with unused tiles must subtract those points from their score.

Try it out, it's a lot more fun than my characteristically systematic description.
