Twenty Six
Requirements
Description
Each round, players start with two cards and then take turns choosing to be dealt another card or passing. The goal is to score points by spelling a word with at least two cards, but be careful that your hand doesn't go over 26 points or you will bust. Manage to use all of your cards to spell a word and earn bonus points! At the end of six rounds the player with the highest score wins.
