Anyway, some econ phd students have created rules for scrabble with competitive bidding for tiles, instead of just drawing them randomly. So basically, if the J comes up for auction, and you know someone is gonna turn around and play "jo" for a triple word score and fuck you over, you can try to outbid them. Check out the rules at the link.
It sounds fun (at least to me...) and I figure we have enough scrabble nerds in the suite to maybe give it a try.
