A dealer turns over cards, each card having a single letter or a two-letter combination; as soon as any player spots a word that can be formed using any set of three or more cards, they shout it out and claim the cards (if the word was valid). Once the deck is exhausted, each player gets one point per card claimed. Play as many rounds as there are players. Re-Implements: Diabolo.
