Shuffle

Shuffle is a play-and-replenish word game, where a player plays as many letter cards from the hand as they can and wish during their turn, and then draws cards to give themselves a 7-card hand. The deck has 72 cards including 2 jokers (wild cards).

A player's first play of the game must be a word of 4+ letters from the hand (junior players: 3+ letters). After that they may play words of 3+ letters (juniors: 2+ letters) from the hand, and they may also do the following:

Swap a joker with the letter that it stands for from your hand.

Take letters from words on the table (yours or other players'), while leaving each of them as a valid 3+ letter word, and adding at least as many cards from your hand to make a new valid word.

Steal an entire word from another player by adding at least as many letters from your hand to make a new valid word. The new letters may go anywhere in the new word, but the order of the previous word's letters may not be changed.

Add letters from the hand to an existing word (yours or others') to make another valid word.

If you play all the cards in your hand in a turn, draw 7 more and take another turn.

If you can do nothing with the cards in your hand, draw another card and pass.

After the deck runs out and one player plays all their cards or no one can do anything more, everyone adds up their score, which is the value of each card in your words on the table, plus bonus points based on the length of each word, minus the value of the cards left in your hand. The highest score wins.
