i. Pawn 1
ii. Knight 3
iii. Bishop 3
iv. Rook 5
v. Queen 9

V. A coin toss will decide which player will get the first move.
VI. Check
a. When the king of a player can be captured by a piece of the opponent, one says that the king
is in check. For instance, the white player moves their rook to a position such that it attacks the
black king, i.e., if black doesn't do anything about it, the rook could capture the black king in the
next move: we say that the white rook gives check. It is considered good manners to say check
when one checks one’s opponent.
b. It is not allowed to make a move, such that one’s king is in check after the move. If a player
accidently tries to make such a move, he must take the move back and make another move
(following the rules that one must move with the piece one has touched
VII. Checkmate
a. When a player is in check, and he cannot make a move such that after the move, the king is not
check, then he is mated. The player that is mated lost the match, and the player that mated him won the
match.
b. Note that there are three different possible ways to remove a check:
i. Move the king away to a square where he is not in check.
ii. Take the piece that gives the check. (In case of a check, given by a rook, bishop or queen)
iii. Move a piece between the checking piece and the king.
VIII. Stalemate
a. When a player cannot make any legal move, but he is not in check, then the player is said
to be stalemated. In a case of a stalemate, the match is a draw.

RULE 5 – MOVEMENT OF PIECES

The following rules apply to the movement of the pieces.
I. Rook
a. The rook moves in a straight line, horizontally or vertically. The rook may not jump over
other pieces, that is: all squares between the square where the rook starts its move and where the rook
ends its move must be empty. As for all pieces, when the square where the rook ends his move contains
 a piece of the opponent, then this piece is taken. The square where the rook ends his move may not
contain a piece of the player owning this rook.
II. Bishop
a. The bishop moves in a straight diagonal line. The bishop may also not jump over other
pieces.
III. Queen
a. The queen has the combined moves of the rook and the bishop, i.e., the queen may move
in any straight line, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal.
IV. Knight
a. The knight makes a move that consists of first one step in a horizontal or vertical direction,
and then one step diagonally in an outward direction. The knight jumps: it is allowed that the first
square that the knight passes over is occupied by an arbitrary piece. For instance, white can start the
match by moving his knight from b1 to c3. The piece that is jumped over is further not affected by the
knight: as usual, a knight takes a piece of the opponent by moving to the square that contains that piece.
V. Pawn
a. The pawn moves differently regarding whether it moves to an empty square or whether it
takes a piece of the opponent. When a pawn does not take, it moves one square straight forward. When
this pawn has not moved at all, i.e., the pawn is still at the second row (from the owning players view),
the pawn may make a double step straight forward. For instance, a white pawn on d2 can be moved to
d4.
b. When taking, the pawn goes one square diagonally forward. There is one special rule, called
taking en-passant. When a pawn makes a double step from the second row to the fourth row, and there
is an enemy pawn on an adjacent square on the fourth row, then this enemy pawn in the next move may
move diagonally to the square that was passed over by the double-stepping pawn, which is on the third
row. In this same move, the double-stepping pawn is taken. This taking en-passant must be done
directly: if the player who could take en-passant does not do this in the first move after the double step,
this pawn cannot be taken anymore by an en-passant move.
c. Pawns that reach the last row of the board promote. When a player moves a pawn to the last
row of the board, he/she replaces the pawn by a queen, rook, knight, or bishop (of the same color).
Usually, players will promote the pawn to a queen, but the other types of pieces are also allowed. It is
not required that the pawn is promoted to a piece taken, thus, it is possible that a player has at a certain
moment two queens.

VI. King
a. The king moves one square in any direction, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. There is
one special type of move, made by a king and rook simultaneously, called castling.
b. The king is the most important piece of the match, and moves must be made in such a way
that the king is never in check: see below.
c. Castling: under certain, special rules, a king and rook can move simultaneously in a castling
move. The following conditions must be met:
i. The king that makes the castling move has not yet moved in the match.
ii. The rook that makes the castling move has not yet moved in the match.
iii. The king is not in check.
iv. The king does not move over a square that is attacked by an enemy piece during
the castling move, i.e., when castling, there may not be an enemy piece that can move (in case
of pawns: by diagonal movement) to a square that is moved over by the king.
v. The king does not move to a square that is attacked by an enemy piece during the
castling move, i.e., you may not castle and end the move with the king in check.
vi. All squares between the rook and king before the castling move are empty.
vii. The King and rook must occupy the same rank (or row). d. When castling, the
king moves two squares towards the rook, and the rook moves over the king to the next
square, i.e., white's king on e1 and rook on a1 move to: king c1, rook d1 (long castling),
white's king on e1 and rook on h1 move to: king g1, rook f1 (short castling), and similar for
black.

square occupied by the other flag,

NOTE: If both soldiers are of equal ranks, BOTH are eliminated.

XII. CHALLENGING
1 As the game progresses, challenges are made resulting in the elimination of soldiers. A
6"challenge" is made when a soldier moves into the same square occupied by an opposing
soldier. When a challenge is made the following rules of elimination apply:
a. A higher ranked soldier eliminates from the board a lower ranked soldier.
b. If both soldiers are of equal, both are eliminated.

e. Only a Private can eliminate the Spy.
f. The Flag that moves into the same square occupied by the other Flag wins the game.
2. For maximum interest and suspense, a natural party (arbiter) is present to preside over a
challenge for both players. As arbiter, he is not allowed to reveal to either player the ranks of
any piece whether engaged in challenges or not. In case of a challenge, the arbiter quietly
removes the outranked piece and gives it back to the player who has lost it. Care must be
made that the eliminated piece is not shown to the opponent. (Note: Official tournament
games are conducted with an arbiter.)
3. When playing without an arbiter, every time there is a challenge both players must declare
the ranks of the two opposing pieces concerned, after which, the outranked player removes his
piece from the Board.
XIII. GAME ENDS
1. The game ends:
a. When the Flag is eliminated or captured.
b. When a Flag reaches the opposite end of the board.
c. When a player resigns.
d. When both players agree on a drawn position.
2. A Flag reaching the opposite end of the board may still be eliminated by an opposing piece
occupying a square adjacent to the one reached by the Flag. In order to win, the Flag should at
least be two square or two ahead of any opposing piece.
RULE 5 – MOVEMENT OF PIECES
I. Any player makes the first move. Players move alternately.
II. A player is allowed to move only one piece at a time.
III. A move consists of pushing a piece to an adjacent square, either forward, backward or
sideward. A diagonal move or a move of more than one square is illegal.

III. There are 100 tiles that are used in the game and 98 of them will contain letters and point values.
There are 2 blank tiles that can be used as wild tiles to take the place of any letter. When a blank is
played, it will remain in the game as the letter it substituted for.Different letters in the game will
have various point values and this will depend on how rare the letter is and how difficult it may be
to lay that letter. Blank tiles will have no point values
IV. Below are the point values for each letter that is used in a Scrabble game.

0 Points - Blank tile.

1 Point - A, E, I, L, N, O, R, S, T and U.
2 Points - D and G.
3 Points - B, C, M and P.
4 Points - F, H, V, W and Y.
5 Points - K.
8 Points - J and X.
10 Points - Q and Z.

V. Extra Point Values

When looking at the board, players will see that some squares offer multipliers. Should a tile be placed
on these squares, the value of the tile will be multiplied by 2x or 3x. Some squares will also multiply the total
value of the word and not just the single point value of one tile.
Double Letter Scores - The light blue cells in the board are isolated and when these are used, they will
double the value of the tile placed on that square.
Triple Letter Score - The dark blue cell in the board will be worth triple the amount, so any tile placed
here will earn more points.
 Double Word Score - When a cell is light red in colour, it is a double word cell and these run
diagonally on the board, towards the four corners. When a word is placed on these squares, the entire value of
the word will be doubled.
Triple Word Score - The dark red square is where the high points can be earned as this will triple the
word score. Placing any word on these squares will boos points drastically. These are found on all four sides of
the board and are equidistant from the corners.
One Single Use - When using the extra point squares on the board, they can only be used one time. If a player
places a word here, it cannot be used as a multiplier by placing another word on the same square.
Fifty Point Bonus -Exciting rewards can come when players use all seven tiles to create a word on the
board. When this happens, players will receive a 50 point bonus, in addition to the value of the word. If the
game is near the end and players are not holding seven tiles, they do not get the bonus for using all of their tiles.
This is only collected for seven letter words placed.

VI. The End of a Scrabble Game

Once all tiles are gone from the bag and a single player has placed all of their tiles, the game will
end and the player with the highest score wins.
