2017 U.S. National Letter Tycoon Championship

Summary:

Create words using a 7-card hand & 3 pool cards; earn cash & stock rewards, & file patents on letters. Winner receives a $250 Shopping Spree at the Breaking Games booth!

Description:

Players take turns forming a word using a seven-card hand and a three-card community card pool, scoring money and stock rewards based on their word. Players may use their earned money to buy one letter "patent" in the word they make. In the future, whenever another player uses one of your owned letters on their turn, you earn money from the bank. Letters that are used less frequently have special abilities, increasing their power. When enough of the alphabet has been claimed, players finish the current turn, then score all money, stock and letter patents owned. Create the most valuable empire and you can become the letter tycoon! Players will play in 3 preliminary rounds; top scorers will advance to elimination play. The winner will receive the title of U.S. National Champion, and a $250 Shopping Spree at the Breaking Games booth!
