If a game ends and I have a blank tile, how many points are deducted?
by Autumn
(OH)
Been trying to figure this out... a blank tile is worth no points in the game; does that also apply to the end of the game?
At the end, all of a players points are deducted and given to the player who used up all of his or her tiles first. Does a blank tile deduct zero points, or is it like a "wild" and therefore deducts something huge like in so many card games?
Thanks!
Hi Autumn - Sorry for the delay in answering this one. The rule for subtracting points at the end of a game is to use the face-value of a tile. In the case of a blank, that value is taken to be zero.
In other words, you lose no points at all for having a blank on your rack at the end of a game.
I hope that's the answer you were wanting!
All the best,
